reports other than to mail, sort, assemble, post and file them as
hereinabove provided.
Except in such cases where a precinct canvass is being conducted by
the Board of Election Commissioners prior to a Primary or Election, the
board of election commissioners shall compare the original copy of each
such report with the list of registered voters from such addresses.
Every person registered from such address and not listed in such report

after the last day of registration be sent a notice through the United
States mail, at the address appearing upon his registration record card,
requiring him to appear before the board of election commissioners on
one of the days specified in Section 6-45 of this Article and show
cause why his registration should not be cancelled. The provisions of

rooming house or furnished apartment who shall fail or neglect to file
such statement and copy thereof as in this Article provided, may, upon
written information of the attorney for the election commissioners, be
cited by the election commissioners or upon the complaint of any voter
of such city, village or incorporated town, to appear before them and
furnish such sworn statement and copy thereof and make such oral
statements under oath regarding such hotel, lodging house, rooming house
or furnished apartment, as the election commissioners may require. The

Sec. 6-57.
To each person who registers at the office of the board of
election commissioners or at any place designated by such board under
Section 6-51 of this Article, after the first registration under this
Article, the board shall send by mail, and electronic mail if the registrant has provided the board of election committees with an e-mail address, a notice setting forth the elector's
name and address as it appears on the registration record card, and shall
request him in case of any error to present the notice on or before the
tenth day next ensuing at the office of the Board of Election Commissioners
in order to secure the correction of the error. Such notice shall contain
on the outside a request for the postmaster to return it within five days
if it cannot be delivered to the addressee at the address given thereon.
Upon the return by the post office of any such notice which it has been
unable to deliver at the given address because the addressee cannot be
found there, a notice shall be at once sent through the United States mail
to such person at the address appearing upon his registration record card
requiring him to appear before the Board of Election Commissioners at a
time and place specified in the notice and show cause why his name should
not be cancelled from the register. Thereafter, proceedings shall be, as
nearly as may be, in conformity with those established by Section 6-52 of
this Article with respect to applications to complete registration. Such
notice may be sent at any time within thirty days after the registration of
any person, but such notice shall be sent within five days after the last
day of registration before any election, to all persons who have registered
since the last preceding election, and to whom no such notice has
theretofore been sent; and where the addressee cannot be found, notice
requiring such person to appear before the board of election commissioners
shall specify dates for hearing before the election not later than those
prescribed by Section 6-45 of this Article.

Sec. 6-58.
Following each general election occurring in November of
even numbered years, beginning in 1940, the board of election
commissioners shall examine the registration records and shall send to
every voter who has not voted during the last four years, a notice
through the mails, substantially as follows:
NOTICE OF SUSPENSION OF REGISTRATION
"You are hereby notified that your registration will be cancelled
according to law for failure to vote during the last four years, unless
you apply for reinstatement within thirty days. You may reinstate your
registration by signing the statement below and returning it to this
office or by making application in person to do so."
"APPLICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT OF
REGISTRATION
I hereby certify that I still reside at the address from which I am
registered and apply for reinstatement of my registration:
Signed ....
Present address ....
Date ...."
In case the elector is unable to sign his name, the application for
reinstatement shall be made at the office of the board of election
commissioners.
After the expiration of thirty days the board of election
commissioners shall cancel the registration of all electors thus
notified who have not applied for reinstatement. A proper entry shall be
made on the registration record for all electors whose registration is
reinstated. Any elector whose registration has been cancelled for
failure to vote may register again by making application therefor in the
manner provided by this Article.
When a registration is cancelled under this or other sections of this
Article, a proper entry shall be made upon the face of the original and
duplicate records, which shall then be placed in a file of cancelled
registrations and shall be preserved for two years from date of
cancellation.
The Board of Election Commissioners shall, however, keep the cancelled
cards in a suspense
file for 2 years and reinstate them at any time within such 2 year suspense
period, when a person's registration is cancelled under this or other Sections of
this Article for failure to apply for reinstatement or to appear in proper
time, and there is sufficient subsequent showing that he is a duly qualified elector.

Sec. 6-59.
The Board of Election Commissioners on its own initiative,
or upon order of the circuit court, shall at all times have authority to
conduct investigations and to make canvasses of the registered voters in
any precinct or precincts within its jurisdiction either by the methods
provided in this Article or at other times and by other methods than
those prescribed herein. However, the Board of Election Commissioners
shall, at least
once in every 2 years, conduct a verification of voter registrations
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 Board
of Election Commissioners or (2) written request 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
on which the Board of Election Commissioners has fixed for implementation
of that method of verification; provided, said Board 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 the completion of the verification.
If, upon
the basis of investigations or canvasses, the board shall be of the
opinion that any person registered under this Article is not a qualified
voter or has ceased to be a qualified voter, it shall send a notice
through the United States mail to such person, requiring him to appear
before such board at a time specified in such notice, not less than 10
nor more than 30 days after the mailing of such notice and show cause
why his registration should not be cancelled. If such a person does not
appear, his registration shall be cancelled. If such a person does
appear he shall make an affidavit and shall be heard in the manner
provided by Section 6-45 of this Article, and if his registration is
cancelled as a result of such a hearing, he shall be entitled to a
hearing in the circuit court and to an appeal to the Supreme Court in
the manner provided by Section 6-52 of this Article.
Whenever the Board of Election Commissioners acting under authority
of this section conducts a canvass of the registered voters in any
precinct or precincts and the board designates canvassers to conduct the
canvass, the board shall appoint as canvassers persons affiliated with
the leading political parties in like manner as judges of election are
appointed under the provisions of Section 14-4 of this Act; provided
that in each precinct in counties of 500,000 inhabitants or more, 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.
The canvassers, so appointed by virtue of this section, shall comply
with the provisions of Sections 6-40 and 6-41 relative to the mailing
and leaving of notices at the addresses of persons whose right to vote
in the precinct or precincts is questioned.

to the mailing address listed on the voter's registration record card. The
board shall include in the mailing a postage prepaid return postcard. The
voter must certify on the postcard his or her continued residence at the
registration address and mail the postcard back to the board so that it is
postmarked no later than the 26th day preceding the election.
If an application for registration is presented within the 49 day period
preceding an election, then this Section shall not apply and the provisions
of this Article with respect to the mailing of a verification of a
registration notice shall be a canvass, except that such notice shall be
mailed to the registrant's mailing address.

Sec. 6-60.
Immediately after the last registration day before any election,
except as is otherwise provided in Section 6-43 of this Article, the board
of election commissioners shall prepare and print precinct registers in
the manner provided by Section 6-43 of this article, and make such copies available to
any person applying therefor. Provided, however, that in cities, villages
and incorporated towns of less than 200,000 inhabitants such printed lists
shall be prepared only before a general election. On the precinct registers,
the board of election commissioners shall indicate, by italics, asterisk,
or other means, the names of all persons who have registered since the last
regularly scheduled election in the consolidated schedule of elections
established in Section 2A-1.1 of this Act.
Prior to the general election of even-numbered years, all boards of election
commissioners shall give the precinct registers to the chair of a county
central committee of an established political party, as such party is defined
in Section 10-2 of this Act, or to the chair's duly authorized representative.
Within 30 days of the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1983, all
boards of election commissioners shall give the precinct registers compiled
prior to the general November election of 1982 to the chair of a county
central committee of an established political party or to the chair's duly
authorized representative.
For the first registration under this Article, such precinct register shall
be printed and available to any person upon application therefor at least
three days before the first day upon which any voter may make application in writing
to have any name erased from the register as provided by Section 6-44 of
this Article. For subsequent registrations, such registers, except as otherwise
provided in this Section for municipalities of more than 500,000, shall
be printed and shall be available to any person upon application at least
five days before the first day upon which any voter may make application
in writing to have any name erased from the register.
Application to have a name upon such register erased may be made in the
manner provided by Section 6-44 of this Article, and applications to erase
names, complete registration, or to register or restore names shall be heard
in the same manner as is provided by Section 6-45 of this Article, with
application to the circuit court and appeal to the Supreme Court as provided
in Sections 6-46 and 6-47. The rights conferred and the times specified
by these Sections with respect to the first election under this Article
shall also apply to succeeding registrations and elections. Provided, however,
that in municipalities having a population of more than 500,000, and having
a Board of Election Commissioners, as to all elections, registrations for
which are made solely with the Board of Election Commissioners, and where
no general precinct registrations were provided for or held within twenty-eight
days before the election, an application to have a name upon such register
erased, as provided for in Section 6-44, shall be made within two days after
the publication of the printed precinct register, and
the Board of Election Commissioners shall announce its decision on such
applications within four days after said applications are made, and within
four days after its decision on such applications shall cause a supplemental
printed precinct register showing such correction as may be necessary by
reason of such decision to be printed in like manner as hereinabove provided
in Section 6-43 hereof, and upon application a copy of the same shall be
given to any person applying therefor. Such list shall have printed on
the bottom thereof the facsimile signatures of the members of the board
of election commissioners. Said supplemental printed precinct register
shall be prima facie evidence that the electors whose names appear thereon
are entitled to vote. If the dates specified in this Article as to applications
to complete or erase registrations or as to proceedings before the Board
of Election Commissioners or the circuit court in the first registration
under this Article shall not be applicable to any subsequent primary or
regular or special election, the Board of Election Commissioners shall,
with the approval of the circuit court, adopt and publish a schedule of
dates which shall permit equal intervals of time therefor as are provided
for such first registrations.
After action by the Board of Election Commissioners and by the circuit
court, a supplemental list shall be prepared and made available in the manner
provided by Section 6-48 of this Article.
Within 60 days after each general election the board of election commissioners
shall indicate by italics,
asterisk, or other means, on the list of registered voters in each precinct,
each registrant who voted at that general election, and shall provide a
copy of such list to the chair of the county central committee of each
established political party or to the chair's duly authorized representative.
Within 60 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1983, the
board of election commissioners shall indicate by italics, asterisk, or
other means, on the list of registered voters in each precinct, each registrant
who voted at the general election of 1982, and shall provide a copy of such
coded list to the chair
of the county central committee of each established political party or to
the chair's duly authorized representative.
The board of election commissioners may charge a fee to
reimburse the actual cost of duplicating
each copy of a list provided under either
of the 2 preceding paragraphs.
