Re-registration. - Voters who are registered in the permanent list of a city, municipality or municipal district need not register anew therein, unless their residence is changed to another city, municipality, or municipal district in which case they shall have to register in the permanent list of their new residence, upon previous application for cancellation of their previous registration. Those who have been stricken out of the list upon their own petition or for not having voted in two successive regular elections may apply for registration, provided they preserve the legal qualifications of a voter.
If a change of address within the city, municipality or municipal district involves merely a change of precinct, the voter shall notify in writing the election registrar concerned for the latter to transfer his approved application for registration from the precinct book of voters of his former address to that of his new precinct. However, no such transfers in the precinct book of voters shall be allowed later than the day preceding registration day before the board of inspectors.
