			 the last-known address of each elector whose name has been or will be removed
			 from the registry list. The envelope in which the notice of removal is sent to
			 electors shall be endorsed with the words: READ CAREFULLY. DO NOT LOSE YOUR
			 RIGHT TO VOTE. In municipalities with a significant minority population, the
			 registrars of voters shall request the United States Postal Service to forward
			 all notices of removal and supply to the registrars of voters the address
			 corrections of such forwarded notices of removal by endorsing the envelopes in
			 which notices of removal are sent to electors with the endorsement "Forwarding

			 hereinafter provided, shall contain a written statement by the elector, under
			 penalties of false statement, that such elector has not voted prior to the time

			 ballot or in person at any other polling place. The request for transfer of

			 registrar(s) on election or primary day, such official(s) shall contact the
			 registrar(s) of voters for the purpose of verifying that the elector's name
			 appears on the registry list at his former address. Upon such verification such
			 official(s) shall immediately enter the elector's name on the registry list at
			 the elector's new residence, attach the completed request for transfer thereto,
			 and the elector shall be permitted to vote. No elector shall be required to
			 appear in person at the office of the registrars to request a transfer of
			 registration on election or primary day. Before the close of the polls, the
			 registrar(s) must contact the polling place officials at the polling place in
			 the voting district where the elector was formerly registered to notify such
			 polling place officials to remove the elector from the registry list.
(b) The prescribed form for request for
			 transfer of registration shall be in both the English and Spanish languages in
			 affected municipalities, as defined in Section
			 9-35-1(a),
			 and shall be available in ample supply from the registrars of voters; in
