I find that statewide registration portability—permitting registrants who move anywhere within a state to transfer their registration
and vote on Election Day at their new polling place—increases turnout rates among movers by 2.4% points. The effect is similar
among movers living in EDR states, suggesting that about a quarter of the beneficial turnout effect of EDR is realized by
recent movers. Yet, movers are still less likely to vote even where these policies are present. These findings further challenge
existing literature that finds that reregistering is the primary impediment of voting among movers.
