So how does one "unregister" to vote?
Not trying to fan the flames of whether voter ID laws ought to be toughened or not, but I wonder: I registered to vote in CT when I turned 18, then in NJ after college, then in TX when I was transferred there for work, then in IL when I took my current job. But at no time have I ever unregistered. During this past election cycle NJ was kind enough to send me a voter information flyer letting me know who the candidates were and where my voting station was. They also this week sent me a juror summons, I'm guessing based on the voter registration list - and yes, I've let them know I'm ineligible to serve as I am not a resident. So - does NJ (or TX, or CT) count me as a no-show when I don't vote there? Does my failure to vote in 3 out of 4 states contribute to the seemingly low turnout of registered voters? Is it even possible to unregister? Would it be so bad to ask people to reconfirm their voting status every couple of years so that this sort of thing doesn't clog up the voter rolls?
