Section 11-106. Processing of applications by board of elections

1.  The
  application forms shall contain a detachable portion for the applicant's
  signature, which portion shall be gummed on the back for pasting in  the
  list  of  special presidential voters, or, in lieu thereof, the board of
  elections may cause to be made, under  its  supervision,  a  photostatic
  copy  of the applicant's signature as it appears on his application, and
  in such case a photostatic copy of the applicant's  signature  shall  be
  pasted in the list of special presidential voters in its proper place.
    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.
