A. It helps to prevent voter fraud in elections
Voter registration serves several purposes, but its primary goal is to establish a list of eligible voters to ensure that only those who are legally allowed to vote can do so, which helps to maintain the integrity of the electoral process by preventing voter fraud. Registration often involves providing proof of residency and citizenship, and sometimes other information that is used to verify a voter's eligibility. While voter registration might indirectly impact other factors such as voter participation, informing citizens about issues, or facilitating communication with government officials, these are not its main purposes.
