If you are not registered to vote in that district, your name is not on that list, and you are not allowed to vote there, so one's citizenship doesn't need to be encoded on the CHL any more than it does on ones DL. I forgot to update my voter registration after I moved from Duncanville to Dallas, and had to drive in rush hour back to Duncanville, barely getting there before the polls closed.

If you have your VR card there is no reason to ask you for ID. There are situations where it can be required but only if it comes up on their computer for some problem. My brother just went through this. He assisted my 90 year old mother voting and a poll watcher came over and was looking over their shoulders as they voted and made a comment to them about how they were voting. He complained to the people at the polling place (later made a formal complaint to the clerk). When he went to back to vote for himself the lady gave him problems, telling him specifically he was required to show his TDL, even though he had his VR card. When he filed his complaint he had his status checked and the clerk told him he was in the system and shouldn't have been required to show any ID. She also said that they can't ask specifically for TDL anyway, only some form of ID.
