    There are many different voting districts, each one depending on where you live, and they overlap and don’t in all sorts of ways. It’s not just “what state do you live in”.

      All of that is for the state. The federal government shouldn’t care at all about who’s voting in those. The states would have their database that puts the residents with their proper sheriff’s vote and mosquitoes commissioner. (Also just residence based)

        The US federal government does not operate elections. States do, and they all do it a little differently. However, so far as I am aware, each state only requires you to register once, and applies all the different districts from your address. Even so, US House districts also depend on your address within a state; those are not statewide offices.
