§ 19:58-13.
Upon receipt of any application for a Presidential ballot, the county clerk shall
make an examination, from any available information, to determine whether or not such
applicant is qualified to vote a Presidential ballot as applied for and in the case
of an application by a removed resident, he shall, with the co-operation of the commissioner
of registration of the county, cause the signature of the applicant appearing upon
the application to be compared with the signature of said person appearing upon his
permanent registration forms. If, after such examination, the county clerk is satisfied that the applicant is entitled
to such a Presidential ballot, he shall mark on the application “Approved,” but otherwise
he shall mark on the application “Disapproved” and shall so notify the applicant stating
the reason therefor but no application for a Presidential ballot shall be disapproved
because the name of the applicant is not printed thereon, if the signature is legible. The commissioner of registration and the superintendent of elections in counties having
superintendents of elections may investigate any application for any Presidential
ballot.
