No, once you're registered, you need do nothing else unless your address changes. Just like with a normal voter registration.
Alright but thats not a solution to the problem presented, and even has little to nothing to do with the topic of this post.
The problem presented is Republicans being dicks by requiring citizenship to vote.
We already solve that problem by:
This increases voter registration (which Republicans don't want) an increases voter participation (which Republicans DEFINITELY don't want.)
Oregon had already been doing #3 since 2000, they added #1 and #2 in 2016.
Voter registration surged to 94%.
Voter participation jumped to 80%.
This is malicious compliance with what the Republicans are asking for.
Then people would need to renew their drivers license every election, sometimes multiple times per year. That's why any compliance with this shitty order a bad idea, it would lower turnout. I already told you that.
What Oregon did was automatically mail everyone a ballot unless they opted out, but under the new executive order, if enforced, that would be deemed illegal/unlawful unless each and every eligible voter registered and provided physical proof of citizenship at that time, which is logistically impossible at that scale.
I'm going to stop replying to you, enjoy sending me the last word in short order.
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.
Thats not how voter registration works.
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.
