I didn't but I easily could have, especially since I drove through that area on my way to work. I'm sure many people vote for where they used to live. If there was same day registration they could vote where they currently live.

The issue I can see with this one is that your actual vote would be tied to your registration. In a secret ballot (which most democratic elections are), this opens up a can of worms in relation to the privacy of the vote.
