Voters are

required to notify the board of registrars of their county of residence

whenever they move. If you move within the same county in which you are

registered to vote and don't notify the registrar at least 30 days prior

to an election, you may vote in your old polling place for that election.

You must file a notice of your new address. This can be done by writing

your county board of registrars' office, or by submitting a new voter

registration application.

If you move

outside the county in which you are registered to vote within 30 days

of an election, you may vote in your old precinct for that election only.

If you move

outside the county in which you are registered to vote in excess of 30

days prior to an election, you have lost your eligibility to vote in the

county of your old residence. You must register to vote in your new county

of residence. If you don't register to vote by the deadline, you cannot

vote in that particular election.
