(b)  Other sources.--A commission may also utilize published     newspaper obituaries, letters testamentary or letters of     administration issued by the office of the registrar of wills to     cancel and remove the registration of an elector, provided that     such removals are uniform, nondiscriminatory and in compliance     with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (Public Law 89-110, 42 U.S.C.     § 1973 et seq.). The commission shall promptly update     information contained in its registration records.
