You want to hear something spooky?
This isn't even an American election year yet.
I'm assuming you mean presidential election. But there are some state and local elections coming up this year. In fact, today is National Voter Registration Day in the US. (There's a specific day to remind people to register to vote or update their registration as needed.)
You guys have "National Voter Registration Day" but it's not a public holiday? Wow! In Canada, we have same day voter registration and it helps a lot!
If you’re in Colorado you’re automatically registered. https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/newsRoom/pressReleases/2021/PR20210629VoterRegistration.html
It’s the only state (it was at the time of this article at least) that has true automatic registration.
Of course republicans have been trying as hard as they can to get rid of it.

That's great for Colorado. I like automatic registration better. No need to worry about ID or forms.
