GREENSBORO, N.C. — Could there be a possibility that a voter could vote twice if they just recently moved?

When folks move to NC from other states and register to vote through the BOE or DMV, does the state notify the other state to remove the person from the voter register? It seems if there is nothing in place, people could vote in 2 states.
The NC State Board of Elections confirms voters who move out of the state, die, or are convicted of a felony are removed as part of routine list maintenance processes.
How does the BOE do they get the info?
The National Change of Address (NCOA) System

The processes aren't instant and at this time, North Carolina does not cross-reference with other states.
A quick reminder, willfully double voting in any election is a felony.
