TUESDAY OF FIFTH WEEK BEFORE ELECTION DAY

9/30/2025

REGISTRARS’ SESSION TO COMPLETE
PRELIMINARY REGISTRY LIST

9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

  • At this session (and on any day except election day) registrars remove electors from the registry list who have died, become disfranchised or confirmed in writing that they have moved out of town. An elector is deemed to have confirmed in writing that he has moved out of town if (1) the registrars have received a cancellation form or (2) the elector has notified the DMV of a change of address out of town concerning a driver’s license. (DMV notifies the registrars, and the registrars send Notice of Removal.) The names of persons removed are not sent to the polls and such persons may be restored on election day only if both registrars are contacted and consent to approve the applicant’s request for restoration. (9-32 and 9-35)
  • Names removed from the registry list must also be removed from the enrollment list. Immediately after the session, registrars must post names and addresses of electors removed from registry list and statement that list of remedies is available from registrars. (9-35, 9-35a and 9-64a)
