Sec. 9-35c. Names on inactive registry list not to be counted for computing
required number of voting machines, petition signatures, minimum percentage of
voting electors. Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 9-238, 9-406 and 9-436 and
other provisions of the general statutes, the names of electors on the inactive registry
list compiled under section 9-35 shall not be counted for purposes of computing the
number of voting machines required and the number of petition signatures required.
Each elector on such inactive registry list who, in the determination of the registrars,
has signed a petition pursuant to the general statutes, giving the same address as appears
on the inactive registry list, shall forthwith be placed on the active registry list compiled
under said section 9-35. Each such elector shall be counted for purposes of future computations of the number of voting machines required and the number of signatures required
on future petitions issued for other electoral events. The names of electors on the inactive
registry list compiled pursuant to section 9-35 shall not be counted for purposes of
computing the minimum percentage of the number of electors required in any charter
or special act, if such charter or special act requires approval of a referendum by a
minimum percentage of electors qualified on the last-completed registry list or has a
similar requirement.
