The county clerk on his own initiative or upon order of  the board of county commissioners shall at all times have authority to  conduct investigation and to make canvasses of the registered voters in  any precinct canvass or at other times and by other methods than those  so prescribed. However, the county clerk shall conduct  a verification of voter registrations at least once in  every 2 years, and shall cause the cancellation of registration of persons  who have ceased to be qualified voters.  Such verification shall be accomplished  by one of the following methods:  (1) precinct canvass conducted by 2 qualified  persons of opposite party affiliation appointed by the county clerk or (2)  written request for verification sent to each registered voter by first  class mail, not forwardable or (3) an alternative method of verification  submitted in writing to and approved by the State Board of Elections at  a public meeting not less than 60 days prior to the date which the county  clerk has fixed for implementation of that method of verification; provided,  that the county clerk shall submit to the State Board of Elections a written  statement of the results obtained by use of such alternative method within  30 days of completion of the verification. In  each precinct one canvasser may be appointed from outside such precinct  if not enough other qualified persons who reside within the precinct can  be found to serve as canvasser in such precinct. The one canvasser so  appointed to serve in any precinct in which he is not entitled to vote  prior to the election must be entitled to vote elsewhere within the ward  or township which includes within its boundaries the precinct in which  such canvasser is appointed and such canvasser must be otherwise  qualified. If upon the basis of investigation or canvasses, the county  clerk shall be of the opinion that any person registered under this  Article 5 is not a qualified voter or has ceased to be a qualified  voter, he shall send a notice through the United States mail to such  person, requiring him to appear before the county clerk for a hearing  within ten days after the date of mailing such notice and show cause why  his registration shall not be cancelled. If such person fails to appear  within such time as provided, his registration shall be cancelled. If  such a person does appear, he shall make an affidavit similar in every  respect to the affidavit required of applicants under Section 5-16 of  this Article 5.    (Source: P.A. 81-1535.)

Upon application to vote at a general primary election each registered  elector shall sign his name or mark and write his address on a certificate  substantially the same as that used in the general election except that it  shall have a place for party affiliation which is to be filled in by the  elector, or by the officer in charge if the elector is unable to write. The  certificates of each State-wide political party at a primary election  shall be separately printed upon paper  of uniform quality, texture and size, but the certificates of no 2 State-wide  political parties shall be of the same color or tint.  However, if the election authority provides computer generated applications  with the precinct, ballot style and voter's name and address preprinted on  the application, a single application may be used for State-wide political  parties if it contains spaces or check-off boxes to indicate the political  party.  Such application shall not entitle the voter to vote in the primary  of more than one political party at the same election.   Such applications  may contain spaces or check-off boxes permitting the voter  to request a primary  ballot of any other political party which is established only within a political  subdivision and for which a primary is conducted on the same election day.  Such application shall not entitle the voter to vote in both the primary  of the State-wide political party and the primary of the local political  party with respect to the offices of the same political subdivision.  In  no event may a voter vote in more than one State-wide primary on the same  day.  Such certificates  when checked and initialed by the Judge in charge shall constitute the  primary poll record. Such certificates at the close of the election shall  be placed in an envelope, sealed and returned with the ballots. Nothing  herein shall be construed to conflict with sections 7-44 and 7-45 of  article 7 of this act. Provided, however, that the applications for ballots  made by registered voters under the provisions of article 19 of this act  shall be accepted by the Judges of election in lieu of the "certificate of  registered voter" provided for in this section.
