138. Where the decision of the board of revisors involves the striking off or the entry of a name for which no application was made, the board may on its own initiative strike off the name from or enter it on the list or, if the striking off or entry relates to a part of the list not revised by the board, give notice of the decision to the returning officer, who shall, as the case may be, transmit the notice to the competent board.
The notice of one clear day must be given to the person whose names is to be struck off of the list of electors. The board may not strike off the name of a person to whom it has failed to send the notice.
