1. Back when some of our Obama volunteers were registering people

We had a meeting with the local Supervisor of Elections and he recommended turning in the registrations daily. In fact, if I remember correctly, the law required that they be turned in within 48 hours of a volunteer group collecting the forms. Of course that meant that Friday voter registration was problematic. So our lovely Supervisor would work with volunteer groups to have them turned in on Saturdays if given enough notice.

ETA - According to this paper from the Brennan Center, that 48 hour restriction was overturned: https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/legacy/publications/State%20Restrictions%20on%20Voter%20Registration%20Drives.pdf
