When you move, canceling your voter registration depends on whether you're moving within the same state or to a new state. I just went through this last year when I moved from Texas to Colorado:For moves within the same state:- You typically don't need to "cancel" - just update your address with your local election office- Many states let you do this online through the secretary of state's websiteFor moves to a new state:- Register to vote in your new state - this often automatically cancels your old registration- Alternatively, contact your previous state's election office to request cancellation- Some states require written requests with your signatureThe easiest approach is to use the National Voter Registration Act form which has a section specifically for canceling previous registrations. You can download it from https://www.eac.gov/voters/national-mail-voter-registration-formIt's important to keep your registration current to avoid confusion at the polls!
