I have moved and I want to change my address for voting. I will probably be voting in a different area.
There are several ways you can update your voter registration and many states now allow you to do this online.
The first method we recommend is visiting your state website. Some states allow for online registration and updates to your registration, while others require you to print out a form and mail it in. Find your state and registration information here:
https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state/
If you are going to the DMV to change your address on your license, you can also select to register or update your voter registration information on the forms you fill out while you are there.

I am temporarily living in another country. My address was incorrectly changed to WA state because we have mail shipping through WA. How do I change my address without changing my voting state? It is incorrectly showing WA state instead of SC.
Please reach out to the county elections office in the state you were registered in and still want to be registered in and tell them what happened. It sounds like South Carolina is the correct state so I did a quick search on https://www.scvotes.org/ for a contact number for the South Carolina Election Commission and I found this number: Main: (803) 734-9060.

Hello, I was looking for the numbers of polling places by state, and I could not find comprehensive data for that in the EAC 2016 report. Could you point me to that information? Thank you.
That can be found in the 2016 EAVS dataset. It is in section D, specifically question D2a.

I am registered in NY. But I moved abroad, and will probably not be back in the US for a couple of years. How can I change my status? Thanks
To be able to vote while out of the country you must apply for an absentee ballot. To do this, please go to https://www.elections.ny.gov/VotingAbsentee.html and review the information on absentee voting. If you have any questions please contact your county board of elections (the listing of the county boards is located in the sentence under "Download Spanish Form") and they will further explain the process for you.

My wife and I would like to vote at home.
I understand you would like to know if you can vote from your home and not physically go to a polling location. some states have this availability, but it is mostly for voters who are physically incapable of getting to the polling locations. Since the election laws vary from state to state it is best for you to contact your local state board of elections. They will be able to assist you with this information.
