There's only a couple reasons you have to re-register, and one of them is very important. If you move. If you move, and don't tell the registrar where you're living, they'll send the information, like your sample ballot, to your old address, and it's not forwarded. You won't know where to go to vote. You don't know where your polling place is, you don't know who's on the ballot, you don't know what's on your ballot. It's important that you re-register every time you change address. Big problem for college students, since they move all the time. The other reason is if you change your name. If you get married, or decide to change your name, you have to re-register... or if you want to change your political party.
