3-23. Voters identification cards.

(a)    At the time of registration, a card with the name and ad-
dress of the voter inserted, and certifying to the precinct in which
such voter is registered shall be issued by the board of registry. THE
BOARD OF REGISTRY AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION
SHALL ISSUE A CARD CONTAINING THE NAME AND AD-
DRESS OF THE VOTER, THE DATE OF ISSUE, AND THE
ELECTION DISTRICT AND PRECINCT OF THE VOTER. Such
card shall be prima facie evidence that such voter has been properly
registered on the date appearing thereon. The board shall have the
authority to issue duplicate voters' identification cards, to be stamped
"Duplicate" to a voter when he changes his address.

(b)    Except for the purpose of filing as an exhibit in a court pro-
ceeding, it is unlawful to reproduce or copy in any manner for any
purpose a voter's identification card. Violation of this subsection is a
misdemeanor and upon conviction is punishable by a fine not to exceed
one hundred dollars ($100.00) or imprisonment not to exceed six
months, or both.

3-24. Precinct check of registered voters.

(a)    Whenever the board shall determine that any precinct is in
need of a detailed check for the purpose of correcting the registration
lists thereof, it shall deliver to one or more of its clerks a copy of the
registration list of all voters registered from the precinct. 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 cards to be handed to non-
registered voters indicating when and where to register.

(b)    It shall be the duty of such clerk or clerks to visit the place of
residence of every registered voter of the assigned precinct, and
after diligent inquiry, to 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;
(2) By the word "Moved" after the name of each voter who re-
moved from the precinct; and (3) By the word "Deceased" after the
name of each voter who has died. He shall also leave change of resi-
dence cards with registered voters who have moved into the precinct
and cards with all persons over twenty-one years of age who have not
registered, giving information as to when and where to register.

(c)    Within thirty days after the completion of such checking, the
board shall cause to be mailed to each person before whose name
appears the word "Moved," or "Deceased" a notification to affirm or
deny the change of address or report of death by filling in and signing
the necessary 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 or report of death and stating 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 provisions of
Section 3-17 of this Article. Failure to return such blanks or make
affirmation or denial, within two weeks from the time when such
notification shall have been mailed, shall be sufficient cause for the
cancellation of the registration of such person, and his original and
