§ 5-310. Enrollment; forms of affidavits, mailing requirements. 1.

The board shall prepare forms for the various applications and

affidavits required under this title and, upon application, shall

furnish a copy of the appropriate form to or for any voter desiring to

use the same, and an additional copy if required. Copies also may be

sold by the board, at cost, to any qualified voter.

2. Except when a voter is expressly required to file a paper in

person, such paper may be filed either in person, by agent or sent by

mail. Mailing within the state and within the times prescribed for

filing shall be sufficient if the affidavit be received by the board.

The postmark shall be sufficient proof of the date of mailing. If mailed

outside of the state or if the postmark is omitted or illegible the

affidavit must be received by the board within the times so prescribed

for filing.
