within the county in which the school district is wholly or partly
situated, in a proceeding instituted by any qualified voter who, at the
meeting of the board of registration provided for in section two
thousand fourteen, made to the board of registration satisfactory proof
that he was or would be entitled to vote at the meeting or election for
which the board of registration was at such meeting convened to prepare
a register, and to whom such registration had been refused by such board
of registration shall, by order, compel the registration of such voter;
and in a proceeding instituted by any qualified voter shall by order
direct to be stricken from the register any names unlawfully thereon,
and shall order such board of registration, if necessary, to reconvene
for such purposes not less than two nor more than four days before the
day of the meeting or election. Written notice of an application under
this section must be given to the board of registration, by service
thereof on two of the members thereof.

the premises claimed by the applicant as his or her residence, and that
he or she interrogated an incarcerated individual, housedweller, keeper
or caretaker, owner, proprietor, or landlord thereof or therein, as to
the applicant's residence therein or thereat, and that he or she was
informed by one or more of such persons, naming them, that they knew the
persons residing upon such premises and that the applicant did not
reside upon such premises thirty days before the meeting or election
shall be presumptive evidence against the right of the voter to register
from such premises.
