The people at the polling place absolutely should have given you a provisional ballot, as u/Aromatic_hamster said.
I had this happen about 35 years ago. A neighbor had reported that I moved out of the district. I was away at the police academy. Nosy neighbors can suck sometimes.
But, thankfully the folks working at my polling place knew me well enough, and did the right thing by offering me the provisional ballot and explaining the next steps.
I would complain to your local board of elections about this.
See if you can find out why you were removed, and register your displeasure with the people who did not help you.
You have the right to have your vote counted.
If you have time and the stomach for it, you can still go back there now and ask for a provisional ballot.
As u/spiritfiend pointed out, make sure you are going to the correct polling place. A lot of us have new locations to vote at.

I know this isn’t the point of your post, but TIL that the police academy is actually a place you go away to. I always thought they just made that up for comedic effect in the movie.

It depends.
The NJSP have a residential academy (during weekdays).
Other police training institutions in the state are not residential.

Seems strange that a random stranger mentioning you may not live somewhere anymore can affect your voting registration.

Right? When a strange car parks in front of my house it takes two weeks for cops to act, but a Karen can disenfranchise your vote with a word?
What could possibly go wrong?
