Section 137Sec./Art. 137

Application for Exclusion of Voters from the Permanent List. - Any registered voter, representative of a political party or election registrar of the city, municipality or municipal district, may at any time except sixty days before a regular election and twenty-five days before a special election apply with the proper court for the exclusion of a voter from the permanent list on the ground, that he is disqualified, or illegally registered, giving the name and residence of the latter, and the election precinct in which he is registered. The application shall be sworn to and accompanied by proof of notice to a member of the board of inspectors, if the same is duly constituted, or election registrar, unless the latter is himself the petitioner and to the challenged voter.

Final decisions of the courts ordering the exclusion of a voter shall be transmitted immediately to the election registrar concerned or, on the day of registration before the board of inspectors and thereafter, to the corresponding boards of inspectors who shall cancel the name of the voters involved from their precinct book of voters, stating opposite every name cancelled the date of the order and the court which issued it. If the decision is received after the precinct book of voters has been closed, the voter so excluded shall not be permitted to vote upon presentation to the board of inspectors of a certified copy of the order of exclusion.
