'While any AVR system is preferable to the regressive self-registration system, it must still be stressed that not all AVR systems are created equal,' writes SeanMcElwee and aidan_smx
“communities of color, young people, the elderly, voters with disabilities, voters with limited English proficiency, and low-income communities.” Sound implementation of back-end AVR is one of the best tools for bridging the turnout gap that comes at the expense of voters from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Under a back-end system, however, only people who provide proof of U.S. citizenship are channeled into the streamlined registration process, and people who provide proof of non-citizenship are affirmatively filtered out of any registration opportunity, protecting them from a mistake. Moreover, even if an error hypothetically occurs due to system error, the risk of such an error would fall on state officials, not an individual immigrant who has never made an erroneous claim of citizenship.
A 2018 statewide survey conducted by the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition revealed that misconceptions regarding eligibility to vote for those with criminal records were. Under a front-end AVR system, it is easy to imagine cases where a formerly incarcerated person, unaware that they are eligible to vote, will choose to decline to register so as not to get in legal trouble.
