@stan I'm assuming you're on iOS, since that's the native handler for input[type=date] spec. It seems the native date inputs can be confusing, so we're switching to a normal input. Good catch!

@bcjordan Thanks Brian! Ah sorry to hear that -- will follow up shortly to see if the issue you experienced has been fixed. re: optimizing registration rate, Yes absolutely! Lots of A/B testing will be happening :)

@chrisbarrett That's awesome Chris! Thanks for checking out the product :)

@eriktorenberg thanks Erik! Our goal is to make it easy for you and your friends to vote, which means lots of UX improvements to both the existing flow and for when you want to help a friend register. Actually helped a housemate register in a few minutes while we were in an uber pool. We're releasing a referral leaderboard this week and got a couple of sweet projects coming up soon 😉

@alexisohanian Thanks Alexis!

@tomdenison Hey Tom, would you mind emailing hello@voteplz.org with details of what you're seeing? We haven't run into this issue ourselves, and would love more info to get this resolved

@parkeragee For sure! VotePlz can help you re-register to vote at your new address.

@parkeragee Change of Address is another application. Go to USPS gov site. You need to register every time you change address.

@airswoop1 Hey Kevin - there are some oddities with our voter registration lookup service where it doesn't like birthdates/addresses. I just saw your email -- I'll follow up 1-1

Following on from Bens question, have you looked how long the process would take someone to register/vote?

Hey @anthony_stylianou! I've done some user testing with our app and completion times are typically between 2-3 minutes (for both online & mailer registration)

@bentossell they did a great job and we drew inspiration from the existing options of registration tools + identifying the bottlenecks. The biggest problem area we found in most experiences is when you live in a state that doesn't have online registration so you have to use a printer to print out a form, get an envelope and a stamp then mail it. I own zero of those things so that instantly raises the bar of effort required for me to register. We added functionality to our to tool so that you can fill out the form on our site. We'll mail it to you with an envelope + pre-paid postage, you sign/write in your SSN and stick it in a mailbox. Done 🎉

@fouadmatin yeah totally agree - I have a form on my kitchen top this second that Im meant to sort out but physical mail doesnt agree with me either... So does this mean that physical mail still needs to be done, you just take out some of the other painpoints (printing/postage)? We have that sorted by the government in the UK - but I still haven't filled in anything or sent back 😁

@bentossell yes - though unlike the government, we'll ping you periodically via email/text until you've done it 😉 I'd love to hear if you or anyone has ideas to improve this step!
