§ 168.521Illegal or fraudulent registration; removal of names; notice; reinstatement;

review by mandamus; challenge.
 Sec. 521.
    If a township or city clerk determines that any name has been illegally or fraudulently
 entered upon the registration records of any precinct in the township or city, the clerk shall
 remove that name from the registration records and shall notify the individual whose name is
 removed of the removal by registered or certified mail directed to the individual at the address
 given on the registration records. An individual representing himself or herself to be the
 individual whose name is removed is not permitted to vote unless the individual shows to the
 clerk that his or her name was wrongfully removed from the registration records, in which
 case his or her name must be reinstated. However, any individual aggrieved by the action of
 any clerk may review the action and seek the reinstatement of his or her name by mandamus
 and the proceedings and judgment of the court in the case are subject to review in the supreme
 court. If a clerk has good reason to believe that any name has been illegally or fraudulently
 entered upon the registration records and the clerk does not remove the name as provided in
 this section, the clerk shall write the word "challenged" upon the registration card of the
 individual and shall lay before the prosecuting attorney of the county all the facts concerning
 the registration. If an individual whose registration card has been marked offers to vote at any
 election, the inspectors of election shall at that time examine the individual under oath as to
 his or her qualifications as an elector in the ward or precinct, the same in all respects and with
 like effect as though he or she had been challenged at the election by a challenger.
