Does it document a process? Send me an exact link to the process please if you know how it works.

This is a legitimate question. Downvote all you want.

Please note i never said i was opposed to the issuance of these licenses for undocumented applicants.

You could contact the Secretary of States office, they may be able to answer these questions.

I could only find the duty of the roles of the registrar and what they're to do. It did not include how they go about it. Unfortunately only have time to skim lol

It actually does, in section 42H

>Registrars of voters in cities and towns shall receive completed affidavits of voter registration from registration agencies, from individuals and organizations conducting voter registration, through the United States mail, through the online portal and by hand delivery. Upon receipt of each completed affidavit, the registrars shall certify the receipt thereof and shall notify the registrant of the disposition of the affidavit. Said registrars shall add the registrant's name, address and effective date of registration to the annual register of voters in accordance with section forty-six, effective at the time set forth in section forty-two G; provided, however, that the state secretary may, by regulation adopted pursuant to section forty-seven C, provide that electronic transmission alone of the information contained in the affidavit of registration shall be sufficient for such purpose. The registrars may correct information supplied by the registrant to the extent necessary to maintain the integrity of their records. If an affidavit is incomplete or if it appears from the facts set forth in the affidavit that the registrant is not qualified to register as a voter, the registrars shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of section forty-seven. If an affidavit is dated by the registration agency or postmarked during the period when registration to qualify as a voter in a particular election is prohibited by section twenty-six, the registrant's name shall be added to the annual register for all subsequent elections and the registrars shall so notify such registrant. All records of voter registration held by registration agencies shall be available for inspection and copying by the registrars of the registrant's city or town or by summons in a legal proceeding.

But of course, that won't satisfy this person, who has now changed the goalposts to demand a precise list of steps that the Registrars need to complete, instead of admitting that the question has been answered: these applicants for licenses cannot in fact register to vote, and there is a clear process that prevents this.

And then it goes into further detail in Section 49

And also Section 36, and some other national laws/regulations referenced there which describe the precise manner in which someone may prove themselves a citizen.

But this person wants us to provide something that says "Step 1: Go to citizensearch.gov Step 2: Type in the name Step 3:....", which is stupid

Yes. I'll do that. thank you for a reasonable answer. There must be a process. Signing an affidavit can't be enough.. or perhaps it is? I don't know but would like to know.
