It’s done online (and other methods) and very painless. If you don’t move, you never need to update your registration.
And in actual democracies you’re registered automatically when turning voting age (usually 18) and gets updates automatically when moving. Obviously, when you have a monarch, you’re not living in a true democracy.
Come to think of it, we have a system where we update our details and it updates it across all other government agencies (this is optional), but I don’t think it automatically updates your voting registration.
Room for improvement.
Oh and yeah, fuck the queen.
Edit: yes, the queen specifically for presiding over the sacking of Whitlam

In any good democracy the government doesn’t know where you moved to until you tell them. Hence the need.
They already know then they ask for taxes to be paid. Requirement for voter registration is voter suppression.
