citizenship, residence, and age
Answer: All of these are factors that might increase voter mobilization
the individual states
(in the US) Most(all?) states can sign you up to vote at the local DMV offices (the so-called 'Motor-Voter' law), or you can go to your County Seat and the Office of the Voter Registrar and fill out the application.
The Motor-Voter Act (properly known as the National Voter Registration Act) was passed to help voter turn-out. It makes it convenient to register by requiring all states to allow people who apply for a license to also register to vote, whether they conduct business in person or by mail.
Yes. In many US states you can vote without presenting a voter's registration card and, in many cases, without presenting any ID at all.
Shouldn't take much time at all. Go to your county voter registration office and file for the correction. In states that use drivers licenses as registration cards, (motor/voter law) just file for a correction with the DMV.
A blanket primary is when a ballot lists the candidates for ALL parties regardless of what party the voter is in. So the voter can vote for a Republican governor and a Democratic senator even if they are Rep/Dem. Very few states have this kind of primary now.
No, voter requirements can vary by state as long as they adhere to federal laws regarding voting rights. States can set their own rules for voter registration, identification, and absentee voting, as long as they do not discriminate against protected groups.

If the United States is to remain a true democracy, the voting rights of all people must be secured and guaranteed. Otherwise, certain groups will not find representation in government and will not be able to take part by holding public office. Because the Constitution did not establish voter rights for all groups, subsequent government actions had to be taken to do so.
I can't remember all the qualifications, but I do know that you need physical boundaries & recognition by other independent states.
