            (1)  Sufficient grounds for the cancellation or
        suspension.
            (2)  That:
                (i)  notice of the time and place when the petition
            would be presented has been given personally to the
            registered elector at least 24 hours prior to the
            presentation of the petition; or
                (ii)  the registered elector could not be found at
            the place given in the district register as residence and
            the person in charge of that place, whose name must be
            given in the petition, has declared that the person was
            well acquainted with the names of all individuals
            residing at the place and that the registered elector had
            never been or was no longer one of them or that no such
            individual is residing at the address.
        (b)  Action.--Upon receipt of a petition under subsection
     (a), the commission shall cancel or suspend the registration of
     the registered elector and amend accordingly the general and
     district registers and other records affected unless the
     registered elector so registered appears and shows cause why
     this action should not be taken.
