1937, ch. 77, sec. 29Q.

58. Whenever the Board of Supervisors of Elections shall determine
that any precinct is in need of a detailed check for the purpose of correcting
the registration lists of such precinct, it shall deliver to one or more of its
clerks a copy or copies of the corrected precinct registration lists of the
last preceding election, together with the names and places of residence of
any voters, not on the lists, who have registered from the precinct since the
precinct lists were prepared. Such lists shall contain the names and places
of residence of all voters duly registered in such precinct and shall be so
certified by the Board. The Board shall, at the same time, furnish to each
of such clerks a sufficient number of change of residence, cards on which
registrants who have changed their residence may apply to the Board for
a transfer of registration, and a sufficient number of information cards to
be handed to non-registered voters indicating when and where to register.
It shall be the duty of such clerk or clerks to visit the place of residence of
every registered voter of his, her or their assigned precinct, and after dili-
gent inquiry, check the names on such registration lists, indicating on the
margin: (1) by the word "Present" after the name of each voter all such
who still reside at the same address as when the last- election was held, (2)
by the word "Moved" after the name of each voter who has before the
election removed from the precinct, and (3) by the word "Deceased" after
the name of each voter who has died. He shall also leave cards with regis-
tered voters who have moved into the precinct and information cards
with all persons over twenty-one years of age who have not registered,
giving information as to where and when to register. Two consecutive
weeks shall be allowed for this checking of names. Within five days after
the completion of such checking, the said Board shall cause to be mailed
to each person before whose name appears the word "Moved" a notification
to affirm or deny the change of address by filling in and signing the neces-
sary blank and returning it by mail or to appear at the office of the Board
and fill out such blank affirming or denying the change of address and stat-
ing the address to which such person shall have moved. Upon the return of
such blanks duly filled in with the required information, the Board shall
proceed as in other cases of change of address in accordance with the pro-
visions of Section 54 hereof. Failure to return such blanks or make affirma-
tion or denial, within two weeks from the time when such notification shall
have been mailed, shall be sufficient cause for the cancellation of the regis-
tration of such person, and his original and duplicate registration cards and
entry of his name, etc., in the precinct book shall be dealt with as in other
cases of cancellation.
