125	125	1 United States Postal Service, an An election authority shall
126	126	2 automatically register any voter who has moved into its
127	127	3 jurisdiction from another jurisdiction in Illinois or has
128	128	4 moved within its jurisdiction provided that:
129	129	5 (1) the election authority whose jurisdiction includes
130	130	6 the new registration address provides the voter an
131	131	7 opportunity to reject the change in registration address
132	132	8 through a mailing, sent by non-forwardable mail, to the
133	133	9 new registration address, and
134	134	10 (2) when the election authority whose jurisdiction
135	135	11 includes the previous registration address is a different
136	136	12 election authority, then that election authority provides
137	137	13 the same opportunity through a mailing, sent by
138	138	14 forwardable mail, to the previous registration address.
139	139	15 This change in registration shall trigger the same
140	140	16 inter-jurisdictional or intra-jurisdictional workflows as if
141	141	17 the voter completed a new registration card, including the
142	142	18 cancellation of the voter's previous registration. Should the
143	143	19 registration of a voter be changed from one address to another
144	144	20 within the State and should the voter appear at the polls and
145	145	21 offer to vote from the prior registration address, attesting
146	146	22 that the prior registration address is the true current
147	147	23 address, the voter, if confirmed by the election authority as
148	148	24 having been registered at the prior registration address and

181	181	21 days after the date of mailing the notice and to show cause why
182	182	22 the person's registration shall not be canceled. If the person

249	249	19 after the date of mailing such notice and show cause why his
250	250	20 registration shall not be cancelled. If such person fails to
251	251	21 appear within such time as provided, his registration shall be
252	252	22 cancelled. If such a person does appear, he shall make an
253	253	23 affidavit similar in every respect to the affidavit required
254	254	24 of applicants under Section 4-13 and his registration shall be
