Few Presidential Hopefuls have Online Vote Registration

"Perhaps the most fundamental grassroots activity of all, registering people to vote, is lacking here," said a study of campaign Web sites released on Thursday by the Project for Excellence in Journalism.

Democratic Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois make it easy to register, with links on their front page menus to www.govote.org, which has a voter registration application users must print, fill out and mail.

Struggling Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona has the most comprehensive information on how to register to vote, with details for rules of each state, however that information is a layer deep under his "Action Center" listed on his home page.

Former Democratic Sen. John Edwards' campaign has a voter registration link in its "Young America For Edwards" section but it is two layers deep from the front page. Long-shot Republican John Cox has a link to a form on his front page.
