Article 1203
Official register to be kept by Election Commission
The Election Commission shall register or cause to be registered all voters in the general district register. The register shall consist of one or more volumes for each election district with a general alphabetical index of the voters. The general district register shall be divided into as many parts as there are election precincts in the election districts and shall have an index of precincts. The general district register shall be maintained by the Election Commission and shall, at all times during business hours, be open to public inspection, and shall be a public record. The register shall be ruled and printed in such forms as the Election Commission may direct. The complete general district register shall be published and made available for public inspection at least 15 days prior to any election.
Article 1204
Same; striking names of disqualified voters
1204.a The Election Commission shall ascertain, not less than six months before each election, from the Division of Public Health, or any informing division, information of the death, adjudication of insanity or feeblemindedness, loss of citizenship, or any other disqualification to vote, of any person registered to vote in his district or who he has reason to believe may be registered to vote therein. It shall thereupon make such investigation as he may deem necessary to prove or disprove such information, giving the person concerned, if available, notice and an opportunity to be heard. If after such investigation it finds that such person is dead, incompetent, has lost his citizenship, or is disqualified for any reason to vote, he shall strike or direct that the name of such person be stricken from the official registry.
1204.b The Election Commission shall make and keep an index of all information furnished to it under any requirements of law concerning any of the matters mentioned in this section and shall provide any person authorized to receive affidavits on application for registration with any information the latter may need to ascertain whether or not any applicant is in any manner disqualified to vote.
1204.c Any person whose name is stricken from the register of voters under this title may appeal in the manner provided by subchapter IV, chapter 15 of this title.
