§ 11-106. Processing of applications by board of elections. 1. The

application forms shall be in a form prescribed by the state board of

elections.

2. Upon receipt of the application, the board of elections shall

determine upon such inquiry as it deems proper whether the applicant has

answered all the questions contained in the application and whether the

applicant is legally qualified to receive and vote a special

presidential ballot, and, if it finds he is not so qualified, shall

reject the application and shall notify the applicant of such rejection

and give the reason or reasons therefor. All investigations by the board

of elections shall be concluded and all determinations made not later

than the sixth day before election.

3. If the board of elections shall determine that the applicant making

the application provided for in this section is qualified to receive and

vote a special presidential ballot, it shall, as soon as practicable

after it shall have so determined, mail to him at the residence address

shown in his application, or deliver to him, or to any person designated

by him in writing for such purpose, at the office of the board, such a

special presidential ballot and an envelope therefor.

4. The board of elections shall keep a register of the persons who

have made and signed applications for special presidential ballots and

of the applicants who have been determined to be qualified. The board

shall keep open to public inspection such register of applicants with

their names, addresses and application dates and shall give to the

chairman of each political party in the county a complete list of

applicants for special presidential ballots, containing their names and

places of residence, including the election district and ward, if any,

and, in the city of New York and the county of Nassau, the assembly

district.

5. The board of elections shall file each original application filed

with it and shall maintain an alphabetical index thereof for a period of

three years after the election.
