§ § 1505Death of registrant

(a) Department of Health.--A commission shall cancel the
registration of a registered elector reported dead by the
Department of Health. The Department of Health shall, within
60 days of receiving notice of the death of an individual 18
years of age or older, send the name and address of residence
of that individual to a commission in a manner and on a form
prescribed by the department. The commission shall promptly
update information contained in its registration records.
   (b) Other sources.--A commission may also utilize published
newspaper obituaries, letters testamentary or letters of
administration issued by the office of the registrar of wills
to cancel and remove the registration of an elector, provided
that such removals are uniform, nondiscriminatory and in
compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (Public Law
89-110, 42 U.S.C. § 1973 et seq.). The commission shall promptly
update information contained in its registration records.
   (c) Corrections.--An individual incorrectly reported
deceased by the Department of Health or incorrectly removed by
a commission for reason of death may appear in person before a

commissioner, registrar or clerk at the office of the commission
and prove identity. The commission, upon such proof, shall
correct its registration records.
