§ 11-106. Processing of applications by board of elections. 1. The
application forms shall be in a form prescribed by the state board of
elections.

2. Upon receipt of the application, the board of elections shall
determine upon such inquiry as it deems proper whether the applicant has
answered all the questions contained in the application and whether the
applicant is legally qualified to receive and vote a special
presidential ballot, and, if it finds he is not so qualified, shall
reject the application and shall notify the applicant of such rejection
and give the reason or reasons therefor. All investigations by the board
of elections shall be concluded and all determinations made not later
than the sixth day before election.

3. If the board of elections shall determine that the applicant making
the application provided for in this section is qualified to receive and
vote a special presidential ballot, it shall, as soon as practicable
after it shall have so determined, mail to him at the residence address
shown in his application, or deliver to him, or to any person designated
by him in writing for such purpose, at the office of the board, such a
special presidential ballot and an envelope therefor.

4. The board of elections shall keep a register of the persons who
have made and signed applications for special presidential ballots and
of the applicants who have been determined to be qualified. The board
shall keep open to public inspection such register of applicants with
their names, addresses and application dates and shall give to the
chairman of each political party in the county a complete list of
applicants for special presidential ballots, containing their names and
places of residence, including the election district and ward, if any,
and, in the city of New York and the county of Nassau, the assembly
district.

5. The board of elections shall file each original application filed
with it and shall maintain an alphabetical index thereof for a period of
three years after the election.
