     § 1507.  Canvass of registered electors.
        (a)  Verification.--The commission may, by individual
     commissioners or by inspectors of registration, verify the
     registration in an election district by visiting each building
     from which an elector is registered and other buildings as the
     commission deems necessary. The commission shall make a record
     of the name and address of each person registered who is not
     found to reside at the address from which the person is
     registered or who for any other reason appears to be not
     qualified to vote in the election district from which the person
     is registered. The commission shall leave at the address of each
     such person the notice prescribed by section 1506(e) (relating
     to checkup of registers).
        (b)  Action.--At the expiration of the time specified in the
     notice under section 1506(e), the commission shall cancel or
     suspend the registration of each such person who has not
     communicated with the commission and proved qualifications as an
     elector.
        (c)  Special inspectors.--For the purpose of facilitating a
     canvass, the commission may, when necessary, appoint special
     inspectors of registration in number not exceeding double the
     number of election districts which the commission determines to
     canvass. They must be qualified electors of the county. They
     shall be appointed without reference to residence in election
     districts or to their political affiliations or beliefs. The
     commission shall instruct each special inspector in discharging
     duties.
