§ 5-403. Rejection of ballot of unqualified voter; notice of action by

board. If the ballot of any person, voted in an affidavit envelope in

the manner prescribed by this chapter, is rejected under the provisions

of this chapter on the grounds that such person is not a qualified voter

of the election district wherein he or she sought to vote, or is not

duly enrolled in the party in whose primary he or she sought to vote and

if such person has completed the application for registration and

enrollment or change of enrollment on such affidavit envelope, the board

of elections shall process such an application in the same manner as

other applications for registration and enrollment or change of

enrollment. The board of elections shall immediately notify such person

by first class mail directed to the address given in his or her

affidavit, of the rejection of his or her ballot, together with the

reason therefor and, if such person has not completed the application

for registration by mail, the appropriate information on the times and

places where he or she may register, re-register, enroll, or change or

correct his or her enrollment. Where appropriate, a form of application

for personal registration by mail shall be included with such notice.
