9. the most important thing you can do is start now and verify your registration

There are a few websites that check in all states, but your best bet is your local election authority. Go to their website and use the voter lookup. You can see everything exactly as your local authority has it. If your registration is good, then you only need to check it again closer to November if you are worried

You may show up as suspended. That does not mean you are purged, after all you are still in the book. It means your address wasn't updated on your voter registration the last time you moved, and your voter registration card was returned undeliverable. You can still vote; just get your address changed. The website will tell you how to do that.

If you move between now and November, even within the county, be sure to update your address with your elections office. Do not depend on the driver's license office to update your voter registration. In some states that works really well, but in others not so much. We had instances in Texas of DMV people not sending the voter change of address to the elections office. They were just either tossing them, or just not doing anything with them.
