§ § 1501Removal notices

(a) Form.--
       (1) A commission shall make removal notices available
   to electors who are registered in the county.

       (2) The notice shall be printed upon cards suitable for
   mailing, addressed to the office of the commission. The
   notice shall provide the following information:
           (i) The address of present residence, including
       municipality.
           (ii) The address of last registration, including
       municipality.
           (iii) Date of removal to present residence.
           (iv) Signature.
       (3) The notice shall contain a statement that the
   registered elector may, by filling out properly and signing
   a removal notice and returning it to the office of the
   commission, secure the transfer of registration effective
   as to elections at least 30 days after the date of removal
   into the new district.
       (4) The notice shall contain a warning to the registered
   elector that the notice will not be accepted as an
   application for transfer of the elector's registration unless
   the signature thereon can be identified by the commission
   as the elector's signature as it appears on file with the
   commission.
       (5) The notice shall contain a warning to the registered
   elector that the notice must be received by the commission
   not later than 30 days before an election. If mailed, the
   notice must be postmarked not later than the deadline for
   registration or, in the case of an illegible or missing
   postmark, received within five days of the close of
   registration.
   (b) Use.--A registered elector who removes residence from
one place to another within the same county must notify the
commission by filing a removal notice under subsection (a) or
a signed request for renewal that contains the information
required in subsection (a) with the commission not later than
the registration deadline before an election. If mailed, the
notice or request must be postmarked not later than the deadline
for registration or, in the case of an illegible or missing
postmark, received within five days of the close of
registration. The following apply:
       (1) An official registration application of an elector
   who has registered by mail qualifies as a removal notice.
       (2) A registered elector who removes residence from one
   place to another within the same county and who has not yet
   filed a removal notice with the commission shall be permitted
   to vote once at the elector's former polling place following
   removal if, at the time of signing the voter's certificate,
   the elector files with the judge of election a signed removal
   notice properly filled out. Removal notices under this
   paragraph shall be returned to the commission with the voting
   check list, and the commission shall proceed to transfer the
   registration of the elector under section 1502 (relating to
   transfer of registration) and shall promptly update
   information contained in its registration records. A
   registered elector may vote in the election district of the
   elector's former residence not more than one time following
   the elector's removal.
       (3) A registered elector who removes residence from one
   county to another county and who is not registered to vote
   in the new county of residence shall be permitted to vote
   in the election district in the former county of residence
   if, at the time of signing the elector's certificate, the
   elector files with the judge of election a signed affirmation
   declaring the elector's new residence. A registered elector

   may vote in the election district of the elector's former
   residence not more than one time following the elector's
   removal. Affirmations made under this paragraph shall be
   returned to the commission of the elector's former county
   of residence with the voting checklist, and that commission
   shall proceed to transfer the registration of the elector
   under section 1502. Upon receipt of the transfer notice, the
   commission of the elector's new county of residence shall
   immediately process the transfer of the elector in accordance
   with section 1328 (relating to approval of registration
   applications). Both commissions shall promptly update
   information contained in their registration records.
