As far as I know they don’t have a similar registration with the city, the same way they don’t all have IDs. Supposedly because it’s seen as intrusive for the government to know anything about the citizens in the first place. (I’m German and only have internet knowledge about this myself.) Kind of ironic that this now serves as a vehicle to disenfranchise voters.
It’s kind of astonishing how different this is around the world. Well, now I know a little bit more.
