Not in Massachusetts. I left that state three years ago and when my son goes to my old precinct to vote, he still sees my name (as well as my wife) on the check-in sheet.
We registered in CT within a week of moving here so obviously CT and MA don't talk to each other. I'm thinking there are millions of people who are registered in more than one place - not necessarily out of intent of those people to commit voter fraud but out of negligence of town officials to keep their rolls clean and purge them of people who moved away or died. This of course makes it easy for corrupt election officials to "stuff ballots" for those they know will not be coming to vote that day (either they moved away or they are dead).
My solution to this problem is that the rolls get wiped clean after every election and every voter must personally re-register at their precinct every election cycle, proving that they are a citizen and that their primary residence is in that precinct. Yes, it's going to be a pain in the neck for many of us but it will bring a lot of integrity to the process.

Interesting.
I’m in MA and just returned my census form which said that if they went 2 years w/o receiving one from me I would be removed from the voting list.
