You must file a notice of your new address. This can be done by writing to your county board of registrars' office or by submitting a new voter registration application.

You must register to vote in your new county of residence. You will be assigned a new voting precinct and polling location. Remember, if you don't register to vote by the deadline, you cannot vote in that particular election.
