Higher Voter Registration Could Affect Election

Yahoo! News
A couple of things struck me:

I do not know of any other country where all citizens are not automatically registered to vote. In Denmark you get a card in the mail shortly before each election, and you just bring the card and a photo id to the poll place to vote. In Australia you are required by law to vote!

Why do people have to register so much in advance. It does not make sense in our computerized society. Somebody must have a reason to keep it that way.
