I have not done too much looking into this, so this may or may not be the whole story. but it sounds like a lot of it is done through the dmv. When applying for a drivers license they can get registered to vote. They also can get a ssn through work permits which allow them to register to vote.
"Section 5 of the NVRA outlines the voter registration opportunities at motor vehicle agencies. This provision requires a driver’s license application, including renewal or change of address updates, to simultaneously serve as a voter registration application. Under the NVRA, the motor vehicle agency must transmit the voter registration portion of the license application to the relevant state elections office within 10 days after accepting the application."
