In the UK we have an annual poll of the local population where you have to register to vote - and have had since 1832.
So the entire list is purged every year and built anew in each local area.
As it's an annual ritual, you get into the habit of registering to vote where you live this year - if indeed you want to be registered for a vote. The form turns up about October time so the register can be built for the elections the following May.
