5-224 - Registration of Voters Unlawfully Denied the Right to Register.

§ 5-224. Registration of voters unlawfully denied the right to
register. 1. If any voter applies personally for registration and is
unlawfully denied the right to register, the county board of elections
may, upon the application of the voter in person or by mail to such
board within two weeks after the last day of registration, or within
five days after the date of the voter's receipt of notice of the
rejection of his application, upon proper proof, and upon such notice to
the chairman of the county committees of the several parties as the
board shall prescribe, direct that he be registered in the election
district in which he is a qualified voter. The directions of the county
board of elections shall be carried out by the board itself, by its
clerks, or by the proper inspectors of elections, as the board may
prescribe. The county board of elections shall make a final
determination of such application not later than one week after the
application is made by the voter.

2. If the board of elections has reason to believe that any applicant
has been wrongfully denied the right to register, it shall notify him by
mail and such person, upon application in person or by mail to the board
of elections, within two weeks of the date of such notice, may be
registered by the board of elections.

3. The board of elections shall make a final determination on such
application not later than one week after it is made.

4. If any applicant is registered pursuant to the provisions of this
section, such registration shall be deemed effective as of the date of
the wrongful denial of the right to register.
