day of local registration and before the fifth day before the next

ensuing general election in each year, the board of elections shall

cause to be published a complete list of names and residence addresses

of the registered voters for each election district over which the board

has jurisdiction. The names for each election district may be arranged

according to street and number or alphabetically. Each list shall be

of the registrants in inactive status as a separate list. In lieu of

publishing such a registration list, such board of elections may publish

a complete list of the names and residence addresses of all registered

voters whose names do not appear in the annual enrollment lists

published in such year by such board, in the same form as such

enrollment lists, and a list of the registered voters whose names appear

in such annual enrollment lists but who have been placed in inactive

status or whose registrations have been cancelled since the publication

of such annual enrollment lists. Lists for all election districts in a

ward or assembly district may be bound together in one volume.

2. The board of elections shall cause a list to be published for each

election district over which it has jurisdiction.

3. The board of elections shall prepare such number of copies of such

lists as it determines will be sufficient to meet the demand for such

lists and shall send at least one copy of each such list to the state

board of elections, and shall keep at least five copies for public

inspection at each main office or branch of the board. Other copies

shall be sold at a charge not exceeding the cost of publication.
