§  5-220.  Registration; challenge after registered. 1. Any person may
  challenge the registration of a voter by executing and delivering to the
  board of elections or a board taking registrations, his  affidavit  that
  he  has  reason  to  believe  that  such  voter's registration should be
  cancelled.  Such  affidavit  shall  contain  the  affiant's  full  name,
  residence,   and  business  address,  the  name  of  his  employer,  the
  registration serial number of the person challenged and a recital of the
  reasons and the  facts  supporting  affiant's  belief  that  the  person
  challenged  lacks  the  qualifications  for  voting  prescribed  in this
  chapter and specified in such affidavit. The affidavit  shall  state  if
  the  reasons  for  challenge  are  based  upon  the  affiant's  personal
  knowledge, or upon information received  from  another  person.  If  the
  affiant's  belief  is  based  upon information furnished by another, the
  affidavit shall recite the name of the person furnishing the information
  and the basis for his information. After the  affiant  has  signed  such
  affidavit  a  member  of such board shall read to him and request him to
  sign the following oath, which shall be subscribed by such  affiant:  "I
  do solemnly swear (or affirm) that the foregoing statement made by me on
  (insert day, month and year) is a truthful disclosure of the reasons for
  my  belief  that  the registered voter therein named is not qualified to
  continue to be registered in the election district in which  he  is  now
  registered."  If  the affiant shall take and sign such oath, the members
  of the board shall sign their names as  witnesses  below  the  affiant's
  subscription  to such oath. Each such affidavit shall be directed toward
  the challenge  of  only  one  registrant.  The  board  shall  give  full
  assistance  to  any  person  desiring  to execute such an affidavit. The
  board of elections shall furnish the necessary forms.  Upon  receipt  of
  such  affidavit  the  board  of  elections  forthwith  shall  conduct an
  investigation of the voter's qualifications to remain registered in  the
  same  manner  as  provided for applications for personal registration by
  mail. Any person whose registration is so challenged shall  be  notified
  thereof by the board of elections by registered or certified mail within
  five days after the affidavit is received by it.
2.  If  the  board  of elections cannot complete its investigation, or
  cannot make a determination  before  the  next  election  at  which  the
  registrant  could vote, it shall place his name on a challenge list as a
  person to be challenged when voting.

  prescribe.  The  county  board  of  elections   shall   make   a   final

  of  elections,  within  two  weeks  of  the  date of such notice, may be

§  5-304.  Enrollment;  change  of  enrollment  or  new  enrollment by
  previously registered voters. 1.  A  registered  voter  may  change  his
  enrollment in the manner prescribed by this section.
2.  The  term  "change of enrollment" shall apply to applications by a
  registered voter already enrolled in one party to enroll in a  different
  party,  or to delete his enrollment in any party, or an application by a
  registered voter not enrolled in any party to  enroll  in  a  particular
  party.
3. A change of enrollment received by the board of elections will take
  effect  immediately, provided however, any change of enrollment received
  by the board of elections after February fourteenth  and  before  or  on
  seven  days  after the June primary shall take effect on the seventh day
  after the June primary.
4. Registered voters may apply for change of enrollment personally  by
  mail  to  or  by  appearing  before  a  county  board of elections or by
  appearing before a board of inspectors. If the applicant has appeared in
  person and if the board finds that he or she is properly registered,  it
  shall   provide  the  applicant  with  an  application  form  for  voter
  registration by mail which shall be treated as an application for change
  of enrollment filed pursuant to this section. If the voter  has  applied
  personally  by mail, the county board of elections shall mail him or her
  an application form for voter registration by mail as provided  by  this
  chapter.   If  a  registered  voter  submits  an  application  form  for
  registration or  enrollment  as  provided  by  this  chapter,  from  the
  residence address from which he or she is then registered, and such form
  reflects  a  change  of  enrollment, the county board of elections shall
  treat such form  as  an  application  for  change  of  enrollment  filed
  pursuant to this section. If such application form also sets forth a new
  address  within  the  same  city or county, the board of elections shall
  also treat such form as an  application  for  transfer  of  registration
  pursuant  to section 5-208 of this article. If a voter has cast a ballot
  in an affidavit ballot envelope on  which  such  voter  claims  a  party
  enrollment  different from the enrollment in the records of the board of
  elections, such affidavit shall be treated as an application for  change
  of enrollment.

  submitted pursuant to title nine of this article by a voter  registering
  or  pre-registering  for the first time, send any such voter who did not
  enroll in a party a notice and a form to indicate party enrollment. Such
  notice shall offer the voter the opportunity to enroll with a  party  or
  to decline to enroll with a party and contain the following statement in
  prominent  type  "ONLY ENROLLED MEMBERS OF A POLITICAL PARTY MAY VOTE IN
  THAT PARTY'S PRIMARIES." Such form shall provide a clear alternative for
  the applicant to decline to affiliate with any party.
2. Notwithstanding subdivision two of section 5-304 of this title,  if
  a  voter  who  registered to vote for the first time (or pre-registered)
  pursuant to title nine of this article responds to the  notice  required
  by subdivision one of this section and elects to enroll in a party, such
  enrollment  shall take effect immediately. However, any pre-registrant's
  registration shall  remain  classified  as  "pending"  until  the  voter
  reaches the age of eligibility.
3.  If  a  voter  appears at a primary election and votes by affidavit
  ballot indicating the intent to enroll in  such  party,  such  affidavit
  ballot shall cause the voter to be enrolled immediately in that party if
  the  board  of  elections  determines  that  the  voter  registered  (or
  pre-registered) to vote for the first time pursuant  to  title  nine  of
  this article.
4.  If  a  voter  appears at a primary election and votes by affidavit
  ballot indicating the intent to enroll in  such  party,  such  affidavit
  ballot  shall  be  cast and counted if the board of elections determines
  that the voter registered (or pre-registered) to vote at least ten  days
  before  that  primary  pursuant  to  title nine of this article and such
  voter is otherwise qualified to vote in such election.

  use  the  same,  and  an additional copy if required. Copies also may be
  sold by the board, at cost, to any qualified voter.

  person,  such  paper  may be filed either in person, by agent or sent by
  mail.  Mailing within the state and  within  the  times  prescribed  for
  filing  shall  be  sufficient if the affidavit be received by the board.
  The postmark shall be sufficient proof of the date of mailing. If mailed
  outside of the state or if the postmark  is  omitted  or  illegible  the

  period of local registration, the board of  elections,  before  removing
  any  records  or  blank  forms  from  any ledger containing registration
  records of voters registered during  such  period,  shall  compare  such
  records  and  blanks  with  the  certificate  filed  by  such  board  of
  inspectors. It shall investigate any discrepancy between  such  returned
  material  and  the information contained on such certificate and if such
  discrepancy is not satisfactorily resolved, it shall, at the request  of
  any  commissioner,  make a written report thereof in triplicate and send
  one copy of such report to the district attorney and one  to  the  state
  board  of  elections  and keep the third copy on file at its office as a
  public record. The board of elections shall then remove the records  and
  blanks from the ledgers and shall file them as provided herein.

  voter  shall  be  lost,  mutilated,  defaced  or destroyed, the board of

  in the possession of the board of elections and it is possible therefrom
  to duplicate the lost or damaged record, the board  of  elections  shall
  prepare  a new record containing all the information required, using the
  original serial number,  and  shall  paste  photostatic  copies  of  the
  voter's  signature  in  each space on the new record where his signature
  was placed on the original record.

  registration  poll  record are filled so as to render a record no longer
  usable, the board of elections shall prepare a second poll  record.  All
  pertinent  information  shall be copied from the original poll record on
  to the second poll record. The registration signature  on  the  original
  poll record shall be photostated and pasted on the back in the space for
  the  registration signature on the second poll record.  Within the space
  reserved for remarks shall  be  imprinted  "Record  Continued--2nd  Poll
  Record", or "3rd Poll Record", as appropriate.
4. The active but unusable poll record shall be kept in a special file
  for  active  continued  registrations  until  such time as the next poll
  record may be cancelled, at which time  the  poll  records  are  stamped
  "cancelled" and fastened together when placed in the cancellation file.
5. All mutilated or defaced registration records which are replaced by
  new records under the provisions of this section shall be stamped across
  the  face  with the words "Record Replaced", without obliterating any of
  the entries thereon and shall be kept on file by the board of elections.
6. If the records of an entire election district or  a  large  segment
  thereof  are lost, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, or are determined by
  the board of elections to be  so  inaccurate  or  incomplete  as  to  be
  unusable,  such  board  may, upon due notice, require re-registration of
  all qualified voters resident within such district.  In such event,  the
  board  shall fix and determine additional days of local registration for
  such re-registration.

  of  the  board  of  elections.  The  board  of  elections shall employ a
  sufficient number of  employees  for  the  purpose  of  conducting  such
  checks.
2.  The  board  shall  supply  such  employees with copies of the most
  recent registration list prepared for such election district under check
  as corrected by the board to reflect new registrations and cancellations
  occurring since the publication thereof. Such check shall  be  performed
  by  two  employees of the board representing the major political parties
  and they shall submit to the board of elections  on  or  before  a  date
  fixed  by the board, a report signed by each of them. Such signed report
  shall be accepted for all purposes as the equivalent  of  an  affidavit,
  and  if  it  contains  any  material  false statement, shall subject the
  persons who sign the report to the same penalties as if  each  had  been
  duly  sworn  and  such  provision shall be printed in bold type directly
  above the signature lines on such report. At  the  end  of  the  ensuing
  period of local registration in such years, the board of elections shall
  forthwith  prepare a supplementary list of all voters registered for the
  first time during such period of  local  registration  in  the  election
  districts  so  canvassed and shall direct the conduct of a similar check
