cancel preregistration or registration; notice; exception to notice requirement
if insufficient time exists before election; voting after execution of
affidavit of cancellation; separation of ballots.

1.  The county clerk shall cancel the preregistration
of a person or the registration of a voter if:

(a) After consultation with the district
attorney, the district attorney determines that there is probable cause to
believe that information in the application to preregister or register to vote concerning
the identity or residence of the person or voter is fraudulent;

(b) The county clerk provides a notice as
required pursuant to subsection 2 or executes an affidavit of cancellation pursuant
to subsection 3; and

(c) The person or voter fails to present
satisfactory proof of identity and residence pursuant to subsection 2, 4 or 5.

2.  Except as otherwise provided in
subsection 3, the county clerk shall notify the person or voter by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, of a determination made pursuant
to subsection 1. The notice must set forth the grounds for cancellation. Unless
the person or voter, within 15 days after the return receipt has been filed in
the office of the county clerk, presents satisfactory proof of identity and
residence to the county clerk, the county clerk shall cancel the person’s
preregistration or the voter’s registration, as applicable.

3.  If insufficient time exists before a
pending election to provide the notice required by subsection 2 to a registered
voter, the county clerk shall execute an affidavit of cancellation and attach a
copy of the affidavit of cancellation in the roster.

4.  If a voter appears to vote at the
election next following the date that an affidavit of cancellation was executed
for the voter pursuant to this section, the voter must be allowed to vote only
if the voter furnishes:

(a) Official identification which contains a
photograph of the voter, including, without limitation, a driver’s license or
other official document; and

(b) Satisfactory identification that contains
proof of the address at which the voter actually resides and that address is
consistent with the address listed on the roster.

5.  If a determination is made pursuant to
subsection 1 concerning information in the registration to vote of a voter and
a mail ballot is received from the voter, the mail ballot must be kept separate
from other ballots and must not be counted unless the voter presents satisfactory
proof to the county clerk of identity and residence before such ballots are
counted on election day.

6.  For the purposes of this section, a
voter registration card does not provide proof of the:

(a) Address at which a person actually resides;
or

(b) Residence or identity of a person.
