For most states once you register to vote and remain an active voter, your registration won't expire. You don't have to re-register for each election. However, if you move states or even counties, you want to be sure that your registration is now active for your new place of residence and therefore re-register.

VOTER PURGING is where each state purges, or deletes, inactive voters from their lists. This is supposed to occur way before an election, but you never know. If your name is purged from a list, you will be turned around at the polls. CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION BEFORE THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE to make sure you are still registered. You can check via multiple voting sites, but here's a link for your convenience: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/
