(10 ILCS 5/5-11) (from Ch. 46, par. 5-11)
Sec. 5-11.
Upon the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday following the last day
of precinct registration, if so much time is required, the two Deputy
Registrars shall go together and canvass the precinct for which they have
been appointed, calling at each dwelling place as indicated upon said
"Verification Lists"; and if they shall find that any person whose name
appears upon their "Verification Lists" does not reside at the place
designated thereupon, they shall make a notation in the column headed
"Remarks" as follows: "Not Found", "Died", or "Moved", as the case may be,
indicating that such person does not reside at such place.
Whenever deemed necessary by the canvassers, or either of them, he or
they may demand of the person having command of the police in such precinct
to furnish a policeman, to accompany them and protect them in the
performance of their duties; and it shall be the duty of the person having
command of the police in such precinct to furnish a policeman for such
purpose.
In making such canvass no person shall refuse to answer questions and
give the information asked for and known to him or her, or shall wilfully
and knowingly give false information, or make false statements. In making
such canvass said canvassers shall make special inquiry at the residence or
place designated on the said verification books, as to all persons
registered as qualified voters, and shall receive information from judges
of election, party canvassers, or other persons.
