Connecticut Statutes § 9-42 Restoration of names to active registry list under certain circumstances. Requirements re completion and use of inactive registry list

Statute Text

(a) If it appears at any time that the name of an elector who was formerly admitted or registered as an elector in a town and who is a bona fide resident of such town has been omitted from the active registry list compiled under section 9-35 by clerical error, the registrars of voters shall add such name to such list; provided no name shall be added to the active registry list on election day without the consent of both registrars of voters.

(b) If it appears at any time that the name of an elector who was formerly admitted or registered as an elector in a town and who is a bona fide resident of such town has been omitted from the active registry list, the registrars of voters shall, upon submission of a new application for voter registration signed by the elector under penalties of false statement, add such name to the active registry list, provided no name shall be added to the active registry list on election day without the consent of both registrars of voters.

(c) The registrars of voters shall cause the inactive registry list compiled under section 9-35 to be completed and printed and available to the public. The registrars of voters shall provide copies for use in the polling place on election day. If on election day the name of an elector appears on such inactive registry list, including the name of an elector who has not responded to a confirmation of voting residence notice under subsection (e) of section 9-35 and has not voted in two consecutive federal elections, such name shall be added to the active registry list upon submission of a new application for voter registration signed by the elector, under penalties of false statement, before an election official at the polling place and upon the consent of both registrars of voters or assistant registrars of voters, as the case may be, in the polls.

(d) The name of no elector shall be added to the active registry list under the provisions of this section, unless the elector's name or some name intended for his name was on the active registry list for at least one of the four years previous.
