I don't see what is different about this. The selective service REQUIRES you to sign up or face jail time so it was not voluntary to register for the draft anyway. This just automates the process.

The rule change was submitted by the Selective Service System, which maintains a database of Americans who would be able to serve in the military. 'This statutory change transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,' the agency's website said. It adds that the rule change remains under review by regulatory affairs and is awaiting finalization. The Daily Mail has reached out to the Pentagon and the White House for comment. The last time a draft was conducted in the US was in the 1970s, during America's highly controversial involvement in the Vietnam War.
