But even if members were required to provide proof of registration as a voter, this could provide difficulties for international chapters.
Here in Canada, when it's time to vote a registration card is mailed to you. If you don't recieve a card and you are eligible to vote (and you want to vote) you have 2 options. 1) call your returning officer and them place your name on the voters list 2) you can go to your polling station on the day of an election and register there. All subsequent elections will have your name on the list and you will be sent a voters card in the mail.
Also, when you go an vote, they take your card to show that you have voted.
I don't know how I would prove to them I was a registered voter.
How do you do it?

In Washington, DC, when you register, you get a permanent card. You get a new one when you report to the board of elections that you have moved. They do not expire otherwise.
We only have one chapter in Canada and I don't know what they do to resolve the issue.
