§ 5-302. Enrollment; completion. 1. Before placing the registration
poll record in the poll ledger or in the computer generated registration
list, the board shall enter in the space provided therefor the name of
the party designated by the voter on his application form, provided such
party continues to be a party as defined in this law. If such party
ceases to be a party at any time, either before or after such enrollment
is so entered, the enrollment of such voter shall be deemed to be blank
and shall be entered as such until such voter files an application for
change of enrollment pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. The
board shall enter the date of such entry and affix initials thereto in
the space provided.

2. If the application form is for a voter who has changed his
enrollment or a voter who has previously registered and not enrolled,
then the board of elections shall compare the information and the
signature appearing on each application form received with that on the
registration poll record of the applicant and if found to correspond in
all particulars shall, not earlier than the Tuesday following the next
general election and not later than the thirtieth day preceding the last
day for publishing enrollment lists, proceed in the manner specified in
subdivision one hereof to enter such enrollment on such voter's
registration poll card.

3. If marks are found in more than one of the boxes or circles or if
no marks are found in any of the boxes or circles of any application
form, the voter who used the application form shall be deemed not to be
enrolled, and the words blank or void shall be entered in the space
reserved on his registration poll record for the name of a political
party or in the computer files from which the computer generated
registration lists are prepared. However if such application form sets
forth the address of prior registration and such prior registration had
not been previously cancelled, the party enrollment, if any, which is
part of such prior registration shall be entered in such space on such
registration poll record or in such computer files.

4. Registration poll records of voters whose registrations are not
rejected by the board of elections shall forthwith be placed in the poll
ledger or such voters' names shall forthwith be entered in the computer
files from which the computer generated registration lists are prepared,
except that the registration poll record of an otherwise qualified voter
who registers after the tenth day before a primary election shall not be
placed in such poll ledger or such voters' names shall not appear on
such a computer generated registration list until after such primary and
except further that the registration poll record of a voter whose
previous registration was cancelled pursuant to the provisions of this
chapter after the previous general election and who registers pursuant
to the provisions of this chapter after such cancellation shall not be
placed in such poll ledger or such voters' names shall not appear on
such a computer generated registration list until after the fall primary
election, unless such voter has enrolled with the same party as the
enrollment on the registration which was so cancelled.

The registration poll record of a voter who is not eligible to vote in
a primary election but who is eligible to vote in a special election
held before such primary election shall be placed in its regular place
in the poll ledger or in a special section of such poll ledger for such
special election as the board of elections, in its discretion, shall
provide, or such name shall appear in its regular place on the computer
generated registration list prepared for use in such special election.
Such poll record shall be removed from such poll ledger or computer
generated registration list immediately after such special election.

5. During the period preceding the ensuing primary election, the board
of elections shall maintain as a public record a list of all enrollments
entered, transferred or corrected, and not contained in the last
published enrollment list. Such supplemental enrollment list shall
contain the same information and shall be distributed in the same manner
as the original enrollment list not later than the tenth day before the
primary election.
