§  5-302.  Enrollment;  completion. 1. Before placing the registration
  poll record in the poll ledger or in the computer generated registration
  list, the board shall enter in the space provided therefor the  name  of
  the party designated by the voter on his application form, provided such
  party  continues  to  be  a  party as defined in this law. If such party
  ceases to be a party at any time, either before or after such enrollment
  is so entered, the enrollment of such voter shall be deemed to be  blank
  and  shall  be entered as such until such voter files an application for
  change of enrollment pursuant to the provisions  of  this  chapter.  The
  board  shall  enter the date of such entry and affix initials thereto in
  the space provided.
2. If the application  form  is  for  a  voter  who  has  changed  his
  enrollment  or  a  voter who has previously registered and not enrolled,
  then the board of  elections  shall  compare  the  information  and  the
  signature  appearing  on each application form received with that on the
  registration poll record of the applicant and if found to correspond  in
  all  particulars  shall, not earlier than the Tuesday following the next
  general election and not later than the thirtieth day preceding the last
  day for publishing enrollment lists, proceed in the manner specified  in
  subdivision  one  hereof  to  enter  such  enrollment  on  such  voter's
  registration poll card.
3. If marks are found in more than one of the boxes or circles  or  if
  no  marks  are  found  in any of the boxes or circles of any application
  form, the voter who used the application form shall be deemed not to  be
  enrolled,  and  the  words  blank  or void shall be entered in the space
  reserved on his registration poll record for the  name  of  a  political
  party  or  in  the  computer  files  from  which  the computer generated
  registration lists are prepared. However if such application  form  sets
  forth  the address of prior registration and such prior registration had
  not been previously cancelled, the party enrollment, if  any,  which  is
  part  of  such prior registration shall be entered in such space on such
  registration poll record or in such computer files.
4. Registration poll records of voters  whose  registrations  are  not
  rejected by the board of elections shall forthwith be placed in the poll
  ledger  or such voters' names shall forthwith be entered in the computer
  files from which the computer generated registration lists are prepared,
  except that the registration poll record of an otherwise qualified voter
  who registers after the tenth day before a primary election shall not be
  placed in such poll ledger or such voters' names  shall  not  appear  on
  such a computer generated registration list until after such primary and
  except  further  that  the  registration  poll  record  of a voter whose
  previous registration was cancelled pursuant to the provisions  of  this
  chapter  after  the previous general election and who registers pursuant
  to the provisions of this chapter after such cancellation shall  not  be
  placed  in  such  poll  ledger or such voters' names shall not appear on
  such a computer generated registration list until after the fall primary
  election, unless such voter has enrolled with  the  same  party  as  the
  enrollment on the registration which was so cancelled.
The registration poll record of a voter who is not eligible to vote in
  a  primary  election  but  who is eligible to vote in a special election
  held before such primary election shall be placed in its  regular  place
  in  the poll ledger or in a special section of such poll ledger for such
  special election as the board of elections,  in  its  discretion,  shall
  provide,  or such name shall appear in its regular place on the computer
  generated registration list prepared for use in such  special  election.
  Such  poll  record  shall  be  removed from such poll ledger or computer
  generated registration list immediately after such special election.
5. During the period preceding the ensuing primary election, the board
  of elections shall maintain as a public record a list of all enrollments
  entered, transferred  or  corrected,  and  not  contained  in  the  last
  published  enrollment  list.  Such  supplemental  enrollment  list shall
  contain the same information and shall be distributed in the same manner
  as  the original enrollment list not later than the tenth day before the
  primary election.
