WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAND DELIVERING COMPLETED VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS TO BOE?

Hand delivery of voter registration forms is not mandatory, however from our research many agencies recommend this because: if submitted in person (even one person from your agency can hand deliver a collected stack of hundreds of completed forms) all those voters you registered should not be asked at the polls on Election Day for proof of ID, to meet the new HAVA (Help America Vote Act) requirement. If the forms are mailed in, then each voter will get a letter from the BOE acknowledging receipt, and requesting proof of ID copy via mail or at the polls, which could cause confusion. So hand delivery by one person from your agency on behalf of all those registered may avoid this.
