Removal from list of qualified electors.

The board of registrars shall omit and remove from the lists of qualified electors of the county the name of any person who fails to reidentify himself or herself, in the manner prescribed herein, before the first day of January, 1980, and any tenth year thereafter. No person whose name is removed from the list of qualified electors as herein provided shall cease permanently to be a qualified elector nor be subject to reregistration, but shall be subject only to the requirement that he or she reidentify himself or herself as a duly registered elector before being listed on the list of qualified electors in the county, and before being entitled to vote.
