To update or change voter registration, such as name, address, or political party affiliation, an individual must follow certain specific procedures depending on the state in which he or she resides. If someone has changed their name or moved to a new address, it is simply important to update registration information to ensure the person is eligible to vote in the new location.

The U.S. government claimed that any person can begin the process by visiting vote.gov, then selecting the person's state and then noting registration deadlines. However, whether the person must update their information online, by mail, by phone, or in person at the local election office depends entirely on state regulations.

If someone would like to change their political party affiliation, this can usually be done through the state election office. It is important to note that a person may choose to join a political party, but they are certainly not required to declare a party preference when registering. Additionally, party affiliation will be of utmost importance in the primaries.

The U.S. government also noted that people who have moved out of state must register in their respective new states. It should also be noted that most states do not require a person to cancel their voter registration after moving, although some states provide deregistration forms if necessary.
