§ 2013 — Duties of Department following registration

(a) After the registration officer delivers the registration records to the Department following each registration day, the Department shall first check the record by the registration number of the registration records to ascertain whether all the records supplied have been returned to the Department. If the Department is satisfied that all records have been returned, it shall file and retain the records for not less than 1 year. If all the records have not been returned, the Department shall notify the Attorney General, who may take appropriate action.

(b) The Department shall then take the applications for registration which have been completed, and signed or marked by the applicant and the registration officers, and examine them for completeness, legibility and eligibility. If the Department is satisfied that the application is complete and legible and that the applicant’s name does not appear on the list of disqualified voters and that the applicant is qualified to be registered, the Department shall take the necessary steps to add the person to the list of registered voters.

(c) [Repealed.]
