Don't vote in a presidential election. Why?

Because people move. If you skip a presidential election, you need to register again. Why did you miss an election anyhow? I have voted in every election, every year. My vote matters, so I vote.

I still check my registration before every election. It has always been current, because I never miss an election.

Voting rolls are purged of people who don't vote at least every four years. People move. People die. People change their names. If you want your registration to always be current, vote, and it will be.

If you didn't vote, register again. Preserve your rights.
