Or, every citizen over 18 years of age is automatically registered to vote.

The voter purge problem is that they were already eligible, but were removed because they 'might live elsewhere' becsuse their name is similar to someone else or some other trivial reason. Automatic registration won't fix the issue of voter rolls being too easy to purge and no one being held accountable for doing it maliciously.

And there are no disqualifications other than non citizen.
