Sec. 9-35b. Relinquishment of registration by elector. Except during the period
between the last session for the admission of electors prior to an election and the day
following that election, any elector of any municipality who desires to relinquish his
rights as an elector and to have his name erased from the registry list shall make a signed
written request to the registrars of voters of such municipality. Upon receipt of such
application, the registrars shall remove the elector's name from the registry list and any
enrollment list. Any person whose name has been removed from the registry list pursuant
to this section may reapply for admission as an elector at any time, without prejudice
on account of such removal. In the event such person is admitted as an elector, the
registrar of the municipality shall notify the registrars of the municipality where such
person resided at the time of his relinquishment that his electoral privileges have been
restored.
