    No, they don’t, that’s not the way it works.

    Once you are registered, you are registered, you only have to re-register if you change your address.

    If you change your address, you also have to update your drivers license and… ding… it updates your registration.

        Tell me you’ve never registered to vote without telling me you’ve never registered to vote.

        I’ve been voting since 1987 and that’s EXACTLY how it works.

        You register ONCE. Unless something changes, you do not have to re-register.

          Your registration was being done automatically for every election. Registration is done for every election.

            No, it isn’t. You fill out and sign the card ONE TIME. You do not need to re-do it unless something changes.

            "Does My Voter Registration Expire?

            Your voter registration does not expire unless you move or change your name."

            Now, it might be a good idea to update it every now and then because your signature does change over time, but that only becomes a problem if your ballot actually gets rejected and you have to cure it with a fresh signature.
