I need specific instructions on how to change my state voting
registration. I recently registered in New York but am moving to North
Carolina more than 30 days prior to the election in November. I want
to be registered in North Carolina, but every 'register to vote' site
I have seen says you cannot register if you are registered in another
state. I'm easily frustrated by beauracracy. Help!

To register to vote in North Carolina (welcome, by the way :) ), as
you seem to udnerstand, you must reside in North Carolina for thirty
(30) days prior to the election (therefore) and you must register at
least 25 days prior to the election.  You can download the voter
registration from from http://www.sboe.state.nc.us/pdf/form06.pdf
(Adobe Acrobat Reader required).  You will need to send in a copy of
your NC driver's license or a copy of a current utility bill, bank
statement, government check, paycheck or other government document
that shows your name.  If you don't provide ID with the application,
you will be required to do so the first time you vote.  If you let me
know what city you are moving to, I can give you the address of the
county Board of Elections Office where you can mail the form.  If you
are North Carolina, you can go to any DMV office and register as well.

Thanks for your question and welcome to North Carolina!  If you need
any additional clarification, please let me know.

Thanks for your answer. I'm moving to Durham. Is it a problem that I
have just registered in another state?

Should be no problem at all.  The form has an area where you cancel
your previous registration.
