You can typically update your record at your local election office, and in many states at motor-vehicle offices.
Moving within a state vs. to another state
Within the same state: you usually just update your address with your
state or local election office.
To a different state: you generally need to
register again in your new state and meet its residency and
deadline rules.
Mind the deadline
Updates are subject to the same cutoffs as new registrations, so don't leave it to the
last minute — see registration deadlines, then
confirm the details on your state's official page.
Find official information for your state
Registration rules and deadlines are set by each state. Choose yours to open its
official government registration page.
State-specific
Find Official Voter Registration Information
You'll be taken to the official U.S. government registration portal (vote.gov) for your
selected state or territory. It's free, and it's the authoritative source for local rules.
If you move within the same state, you usually update your address with your state or local election office — often online, by mail, or in person. If you move to a different state, you generally register again in the new state. Check your state’s official page for the exact method and deadline.
How do I change the name on my voter registration?
After a legal name change, update your registration so your record matches your ID. Depending on your state you can often do this online, by mail with the National Mail Voter Registration Form, or in person.
Do I need to re-register if I move to another state?
Usually yes. Moving to a new state typically means registering again there and meeting its residency and deadline requirements. Do it as soon as you can after moving.
