97. (1)  Any person who finds that his name is not on the electoral list although he has the qualifications of an elector, or has been entered on any electoral list when he has not the qualifications of an elector, may file an application in writing and under oath, in form 16 or 18 as the case may be, to have his name entered or struck off.
However, when a person has changed his domicile since the entry of his name on the electoral list during the last annual enumeration period and he has the qualifications of an elector, he may file, during a second revision, in form 17, in writing and under oath, an application to have his name entered on the electoral list of the polling subdivision where he is now domiciled, if he declares in such form that he has filed an application in form 18 to have his name struck off the list of the polling subdivision in which he had been entered at the last annual enumeration and if such application to be struck off is attached to his application to be entered.
(2)  Any elector entered on the list for an urban polling subdivision who finds that the name of a person has been entered on the list for such subdivision, although such person has not the qualifications of an elector, may file an application in writing and under oath, in form 19, declaring that to his personal knowledge the name which he seeks to have struck off is that of a person not entitled to vote.
(3)  Any elector entered or entitled to be entered on the list for an urban polling subdivision who finds that the name of a relative is not entered on such list or on that of another urban polling subdivision of the same electoral division, when such relative is qualified to be entered either on one or on the other, may file an application in writing and under oath, in form 20, declaring that such relative is qualified as an elector; furthermore, if he finds that the name of a relative is entered on any list of an urban polling subdivision of the same electoral division, when such relative to his personal knowledge is not qualified as an elector, he may file an application, in form 22, to have the name struck off, declaring, in writing and under oath, that such relative is not entitled to vote.
However, when an elector entered or entitled to be entered on the electoral list of an urban polling subdivision finds that the name of a relative is not entered on such list or that of another urban polling subdivision of the same electoral division because that relative has changed domicile since the entry of his name on the electoral list at the last annual enumeration period, that elector may, if the relative is qualified to be entered, file an application at a second revision in writing and under oath, in form 21, declaring that such relative is qualified as an elector, if that elector declares in that form that he has filed, in form 22, an application to have the name of his relative struck off the list of the polling subdivision in which he was entered at the last annual enumeration and that application for striking off is attached to the application to have the name entered.
(4)  Applications for the entry or striking off of names must be filed in the office of the returning officer or in any other office opened under section 83, not later than Saturday:
(a)  of the third week following that of the enumeration, if the applications are made during the period of the annual enumeration; or
(b)  of the third week prior to that of the polling, if the applications are made during an election period,
and forwarded immediately to the board of revisors.
(5)  Every application for striking off of any name filed in one of the offices mentioned in section 83, respecting the striking off of the name of an elector at a revision made during an election period:
(a)  in another electoral division following a change of domicile since the last annual enumeration period must be sent on the same day to the returning officer; he must immediately send the application to the returning officer of that other electoral division who must take the necessary steps to send it forthwith to the revisors appointed to correct the electoral lists of the municipality or part of the municipality where that elector was domiciled;
(b)  in the same electoral division, but in another municipality or part of a municipality following a change of domicile since the entry of his name at the last annual enumeration period, must be sent forthwith to the returning officer; he must send the application forthwith to the revisors appointed to correct the electoral lists of the municipality or part of the municipality where that elector was domiciled.
