§ 510. Voting upon release. Prior to the release from a local
correctional facility of any person convicted of a felony the chief
administrative officer shall notify such person verbally and in writing
that his or her voting rights will be restored upon release and provide
such person with a form of application for voter registration and a
declination form, offer such person assistance in filling out the
appropriate form, and provide such person written information
distributed by the board of elections on the importance and the
mechanics of voting. Upon release, such person may choose to either
submit his or her completed application to the state board or county
board where such person resides or have the department transmit it on
his or her behalf. Where such person chooses to have the department
transmit the application, the chief administrative officer shall
transmit the completed application upon such person's release to the
state board or county board where such person resides.
