c. no, in fact, the new provision makes the age, residency, and registration requirements more difficult than the old provision
d. no, there are no situations in which a person might qualify to vote under the new provision but not under the old provision

Explanation:

For part a, the old provision focuses on citizens and doesn't address non - citizens, so there could be a situation where non - citizens qualify under new rules but not old ones. For part b, if the new provision is more inclusive of non - citizens, a registered non - citizen could qualify under new rules but not old ones which seem to focus on citizens.

a. B. Yes, while the old provision says that "every citizen" of the United States meeting the other conditions can vote, it does not address whether non - citizens might be
b. B. Yes, a registered non - citizen might qualify under the new provision, but not the old provision.
