(a) By the first day of June of each year, and at such other times as may be practicable, all Permanent Registrars shall, and at their discretion at other times may, print or otherwise duplicate and publish lists of registered voters by precincts, and may distribute such lists pursuant to §§ 7-5-105 and 7-5-109. A copy of the most current such list in each precinct shall be furnished the election officials at each precinct at the time the ballot boxes are delivered and such election officials shall post said list at a conspicuous place in the polling area.
(b) By the first day of June of each year, the Permanent Registrar shall certify to the Secretary of State the total number of registered voters in the county.

Publisher's Notes. The 1995 amendment by identical acts Nos. 947 and 964, in (a), substituted "pursuant to §§ 7-5-105 and 7-5-109" for "free of cost, or, with the approval of the County Board of Registration, at a price necessary to cover cost of publication" and made a minor stylistic change; and substituted "Secretary of State" for "State Auditor" twice in (b).
