What is proving to be a particularly efficient way of registering voters?

Answer: Chatbots

Altough elections generally lead to a lot of disagreements with uncles and in-laws, one thing most agree on is the importance of getting registered to vote — something at which chatbots have proven incredibly effective. One company, HelloVote, is reporting completion rates of 70 percent or more. By combining text messages with bots that do fill out most of the registration forms, the service takes out the most difficult (and dull) part of the process. Chatbots have also debuted in government, helping to offload more menial roles from IT help desk staffers.
