In other democratic countries (I hear), it's the responsibility of government to get citizens on the voter rolls. In the U.S., it's considered the responsibility of the citizen to register.

The American system makes no sense until it's seen as a vestige of the #JimCrow era, in which white supremacists were looking for ways to prevent formerly enslaved people from voting. Thus the default is "You can't vote."
