Notwithstanding any other general or special law, the board of registration shall have the power to require the board of elections or other authority having lawful custody of the register or registers used at the general elections last preceding such school election to turn over such register or registers to such board of registration on or before March first of each year for use on the date or dates of such registration and election, for the purpose of preparing the school district registers therefrom. Such board of elections or other authority may, however, elect to furnish, in place of the original registers either a duplicate of the central file registration records, or a list of registered voters, certified to be a complete and accurate copy of the names and addresses of all persons entered in such register for the last preceding general election as well as the names of persons who have registered with such board of elections or other authority up to five days before the date of furnishing such list. On the day following the day of the election, the general election register or registers shall be returned to the authority from whom such register or registers were secured. In addition, the board of registration shall include in each school district register, the names and addresses of persons who registered for any intervening school district election, but who were not registered for the preceding general election. The board of registration shall, for each election of the school district, add to such registers the names of the qualified voters of the school district who shall present themselves personally for registration. Only those qualified voters who are not registered under permanent personal registration on or before the last registration day found on the original or duplicate registers or records or list furnished by the board of elections and have not voted at an intervening school district election, shall be required to present themselves personally for registration.
Any person who has moved from one school election district to another, in the same city school district and who has not registered in the new school election district, and who is still registered in the district from which he moved, may vote in the election district in which he is registered. Such person must at the time of voting advise the election inspectors of his new address and they shall advise the board of registration to correct such registration.
