My voter registration seems to have disappeared [View all]

I have not missed an election, on any level, since I turned 18 and could vote.

I moved within the city of Chicago a few years ago. I have voted since then. I even requested and received a duplicate voter's registration card a few months ago because I misplaced the original.

I am now not on any registration list in Illinois. I went online to check where early voting was for my district. Because I have lived in 3 different districts in the last 7 years, and because I seem to have a bad memory for it, I couldn't recall my current district. So I used the online "check if you're registered" tool to find which district I currently reside.

Nothing. They have nothing for that name at that address. So I checked all my previous addresses. Nothing. So I called. Nothing.

Thank goodness Illinois has the grace period registration. I will go in today, reregister and vote.

Has this happened to anyone else? I can't even believe it. How does it disappear? Had I just waited until election day and gone to my polling place only to find out I couldn't vote, I would have been devastated
