Can somebody please explain to me how you can vote for the presidential election in the US? What is the registration process when you are a first time voter and what do you do after moving to a different state? I am at a loss here!

Well as I recall. They send you voter registration in the mail. The first time I registered as a republican in the democratic state of NY. I never received my registration card. I wonder why🙄 Then I registered again as an independent and got my card. I went to vote. My guy lost, my vote meant nothing and I got back to back jury duty as my reward😄

Here you just go to electoral justice, register for your voter id and then you're ready to vote.

The trick is that every state has its own specific rules, generally you just do your registration form by the deadline - some states make you do it months before the election, some let you show up to the voting station on election day and register and cast your ballot same day

I'm not a US dude. you kinda go to this center that has your name already registered since you are a citizen. And you vote there. That's the norme worldwide I believe.
