The process of democracy in þereminia starts well before election day, with the postal registry that maps identifiers to physical addresses. 100 years ago, this was still a manual process, with a giant distributed card-catalog system that sometimes took weeks to fully propagate a change. Nowadays, it's all computerized, handled by the secure data center buried under the postal network headquarters in All Downhill City (with a live backup in Finally a River City, and long-term backups scattered in various locations).

So when Míshtet wants to move to Largest River City, updating her address with all the relevant institutions is as simple as clicking a button.
