§ § 1510Failure to vote

(a) Check of electors.--By April 1 of each year except in
a year in which the commission conducts a check of electors
under section 1506(c) (relating to checkup of registers), the
commission shall examine all of the district registers.
   (b) Suspension.--A qualified elector who has been registered
for a period of at least two immediately preceding calendar
years but who is not recorded as having voted at an election
during that period is subject to suspension of registration in
accordance with the following procedure:
       (1) If a registered elector who has been registered for
   a period of at least two immediately preceding calendar years
   is not recorded as having voted at an election during that
   period, the commission shall send to the registered elector
   by mail, at the address appearing upon the registration card,
   a notice setting forth that the records of the commission
   indicate that the registered elector has not voted during
   the two immediately preceding calendar years and that the
   registered elector's registration will be canceled at the
   expiration of 30 days from the date of mailing the notice
   unless the registered elector, within that period, files
   with the commission either personally or by mail a written
   request for reinstatement of registration or a removal notice
   properly executed setting forth the registered elector's
   place of residence and signed by the registered elector.
       (2) Within 30 days from the date of mailing of the
   notice under paragraph (1), the registered elector must file
   with the commission either personally or by mail a written
   request for reinstatement of registration or a properly
   executed removal notice which sets forth the registered
   elector's place of residence and which is signed by the
   registered elector. The official registration application
   card of a registered elector who has registered by mail
   qualifies as a request for reinstatement of registration or
   a removal notice under this paragraph.
       (3) Within 30 days from the date of mailing of the
   notice under paragraph (1), the commission shall cancel the
   registration of a registered elector who has not complied
   with paragraph (2).
   (c) Effect.--Cancellation of registration under this section
shall not affect the right of a qualified elector to
subsequently register in the manner provided by this part.

§ 1511.  Cancellation, removal and preservation of registration
           records.
   (a) General rule.--If the registration of a registered
elector is canceled for any cause, the commission shall mark
on the registration record of the elector the word "canceled"
and the date and cause of cancellation and shall remove them
from the general and district registers. Such record shall be
kept for five years, after which the commission may destroy it.
   (b) Nonessential records.--All records which are not
essential for maintaining the current status of a registered
elector may be destroyed by the commission after three years.
