8 through a mailing, sent by non-forwardable mail, to the
9 new registration address, and
10 (2) when the election authority whose jurisdiction
11 includes the previous registration address is a different
12 election authority, then that election authority provides
13 the same opportunity through a mailing, sent by
14 forwardable mail, to the previous registration address.
15 This change in registration shall trigger the same
16 inter-jurisdictional or intra-jurisdictional workflows as if
17 the voter completed a new registration card, including the
18 cancellation of the voter's previous registration. Should the

17 canvasses of the registered voters in any precinct or
18 precincts within its jurisdiction either by the methods
19 provided in this Article or at other times and by other methods

1 year but before the first day allowed for circulation of a
2 petition for nomination for a candidate for the following
3 primary election in an even-numbered year. Such verification
4 shall be accomplished by one of the following methods: (1)
5 precinct canvass conducted by 2 qualified persons of opposite
6 party affiliation appointed by the Board of Election
7 Commissioners or (2) written request sent to each registered
8 voter by first class mail, not forwardable or (3) an
9 alternative method of verification submitted in writing to and
10 approved by the The State Board of Elections at a public
11 meeting not less than 60 days prior to the date on which the
12 Board of Election Commissioners has fixed for implementation
13 of that method of verification; provided, said Board shall
14 certify submit to the State Board of Elections that the
15 verification has been conducted and completed and include a
16 written statement of the results obtained by use of such
17 alternative method within 30 days of the completion of the
18 verification. If, upon the basis of investigations or
19 canvasses, the board shall be of the opinion that any person
20 registered under this Article is not a qualified voter or has
21 ceased to be a qualified voter, it shall send a notice through
22 the United States mail to such person, requiring him to appear
23 before such board at a time specified in such notice, not less
24 than 10 nor more than 30 days after the mailing of such notice
25 and show cause why his registration should not be cancelled.
26 If such a person does not appear, his registration shall be

1 cancelled. If such a person does appear he shall make an
2 affidavit and shall be heard in the manner provided by Section
3 6-45 of this Article, and if his registration is cancelled as a
4 result of such a hearing, he shall be entitled to a hearing in
5 the circuit court and to an appeal to the Supreme Court in the
6 manner provided by Section 6-52 of this Article.
7 Whenever the Board of Election Commissioners acting under
8 authority of this section conducts a canvass of the registered
9 voters in any precinct or precincts and the board designates
10 canvassers to conduct the canvass, the board shall appoint as
11 canvassers persons affiliated with the leading political
12 parties in like manner as judges of election are appointed
13 under the provisions of Section 14-4 of this Act; provided
14 that in each precinct in counties of 500,000 inhabitants or
15 more, one canvasser may be appointed from outside such
16 precinct if not enough other qualified persons who reside
17 within the precinct can be found to serve as canvasser in such
18 precinct. The one canvasser so appointed to serve in any
19 precinct in which he is not entitled to vote prior to the
20 election must be entitled to vote elsewhere within the ward or
21 township which includes within its boundaries the precinct in
22 which such canvasser is appointed and such canvasser must be
23 otherwise qualified.
24 The canvassers, so appointed by virtue of this section,
25 shall comply with the provisions of Sections 6-40 and 6-41
26 relative to the mailing and leaving of notices at the
