§ 5-710. Check of registrants; personal. 1. A special door to door
check of all the registered voters in any or all of the election
districts including election districts previously checked shall be
conducted in any year upon the written filed request of any one member
of the board of elections. The board of elections shall employ a
sufficient number of employees for the purpose of conducting such
checks.

2. The board shall supply such employees with copies of the most
recent registration list prepared for such election district under check
as corrected by the board to reflect new registrations and cancellations
occurring since the publication thereof. Such check shall be performed
by two employees of the board representing the major political parties
and they shall submit to the board of elections on or before a date
fixed by the board, a report signed by each of them. Such signed report
shall be accepted for all purposes as the equivalent of an affidavit,
and if it contains any material false statement, shall subject the
persons who sign the report to the same penalties as if each had been
duly sworn and such provision shall be printed in bold type directly
above the signature lines on such report. At the end of the ensuing
period of local registration in such years, the board of elections shall
forthwith prepare a supplementary list of all voters registered for the
first time during such period of local registration in the election
districts so canvassed and shall direct the conduct of a similar check
of all such voters.

3. Whenever it appears from the report that a registered voter is no
longer qualified the board shall proceed in the manner prescribed by
section 5-402 of this article.
