Part 1 - General Provisions
2015 - Register to Be Filed; Addition to and Correction of Register; Challenges.

§ 2015. Register to be filed; addition to and correction of register;
challenges. 1. The register prepared as provided in section two
thousand fourteen of this chapter shall, immediately upon its completion
and not less than five days prior to the time set for the school meeting
or election at which it is to be used, be filed in the office of the
clerk of the district, and thereafter shall at all reasonable times be
open to inspection by any qualified voter of such school district on
each day up to and including the day set for the meeting or election,
except Sundays.

2. The name of no voter may be placed upon a register unless such
voter appears before the board of registration except if a qualified
voter is a resident of a school district and his name appears on a
register as a resident of another district, a written sworn statement
may be filed by such voter with the clerk of the district showing his
correct residence and the name of such voter shall thereupon be stricken
from such register and placed upon the proper register.

3. A qualified voter may, upon the examination of such list, file a
written challenge of the qualifications as a voter of any person whose
name appears on such list.

4. Statements and challenges shall be received and preserved by the
clerk of the district or other person designated by the board of
education, and immediately upon receiving any such sworn statement of a
voter, applying to have his name placed upon the register or any
challenge as to a name already thereon, the clerk shall file such
statement or challenge or copy thereof, with the register and hold the
same open for inspection by any qualified voter of the district. Upon
the face of such statement or challenge, the clerk shall write clearly
what action was taken with reference thereto, immediately upon such
action being taken.

5. The clerk of the district shall cause a copy of the register of
such school district to be delivered on the day of the meeting or
election before the opening of the polls to the inspectors of election
at each voting place within the district at the place or places where
the meeting or election is to be held. If there be not more than one
voting place, the clerk shall produce the register at the place of the
meeting or election, at the opening thereof. The inspectors of election
at each voting place shall indicate on the copy of the register
delivered to them, and opposite the name of each person so registered,
whether each such person did vote in such election or at such meeting.
