I voted for the presidential elections in 2016, do I need to register to vote for the midterms?

    I don't think this varies state-by-state, but it would help if you indicated what state you're in so we can provide a specific source. Each state runs its own elections, so the rules could theoretically be different.

You do not. If you have not moved since you last voted, then you can simply return to the precinct where you voted in the presidential election on midterm election day to cast your vote. The Wiki-how on voter registration specifies:




You only need to register again if you change your address or name, or
if you would like to switch political party affiliation. In most
states, you can change this information online or by filling out a new
national form. If you have any questions, contact your local election
office.

    Vote.gov offers information on how to register to vote. On that page, you choose your state and you can register online.



    If you don't need to register again, that should be stated on the state-specific site. For example on the Arizona site, it says:




    Use EZ Voter registration to:



    • Register to vote for the first time


    • Update your address, political party preference, permanent early voting status or any other information on your voter registration record


    • To check the status of your voter registration, click here


    • To find your polling place, click here




    Therefore, I suggest going to the state-specific site (via the link on vote.gov) to check the rules that apply in your state. If it works like the Arizona site, you can check your voter registration, register online and find other relevant information.
