Automatic registration for US military draft-eligible men to begin in December
Automatic registration into Selective Service was mandated in December 2025, when President Donald Trump signed into law the fiscal year 2026 NDAA.www.militarytimes.com
Hmm, so they can automatically register eligible men (but not women apparently) for the draft, but you have to jump through hoops to register to vote. *scratches chin*
They're not "pushing it". They're saving money and people's time - why make people register, spend money on advertising and promotion, when they could just do it for them? It's simply "good governance".More curious why they're pushing it now

Now, if you were asing me why the US has a draft at all, then I'd happily weigh in on that.
