§ 23-15-137. Repealed.
Repealed by Laws of 2017, ch. 441, § 189, effective July 1, 2017. § 23-15-137 . [Laws, 1994, ch. 590, § 1; Laws, 2004, ch. 305, § 11; Laws, 2006, ch. 574, § 12; Laws, 2006, ch. 585, § 1, eff from and after June 5, 2006 (the date the United States Attorney General interposed no objection under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, to the amendment of this section by Laws, 2006, ch. 574, § 12).] Editor’s Notes — Former § 23-15-137 authorized municipalities to contract with county election commissioners to revise registration books and pollbooks. This section was amended by Section 12 of Chapter 574, Laws of 2006, and Section 1 of Chapter 585, Laws of 2006. Both chapters required submission to the United States Attorney General for preclearance under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Chapter 574 received preclearance on June 5, 2006. There are no records indicating that Chapter 585 was submitted to or precleared by the U.S. Attorney General, so Chapter 585 was never given effect. The version of the section that appeared in the Code, and that was repealed by Section 189 of Chapter 441, Laws of 2017, reflected the language of Section 12 of Chapter 574, Laws of 2006, effective June 5, 2006.
