Registration is permanent unless a voter moves to a new city or town. However, failure to respond to the Annual Census may result in being dropped from the active list of Registered Voters. A voter, moving from one precinct to another within the town, should immediately notify the Registrars of the changes to assure being able to vote in the new precinct, otherwise he will have to vote at the preceinct of his former address.
