Why do you need a separate registration step to do any of that? You already know how many eligible voters live in each precinct. Voter registration made sense before state-issued photo ids were a thing. But they're now just a tool of voter suppression.

What can you do with voter registration rolls that you can't do with a database of names, addresses, and citizenship status?

In the US, at least, there are no standard, state-issued IDs. Driver's licenses largely fill that role, but as others have noted, not everyone drives (and not everyone who drives has an up-to-date license).
