      Sec. 9-158k. Town clerk to maintain file of information from other states or towns. The municipal clerk shall file each duplicate application or other official information received by him from another state, or from another town in this state, indicating that a person who formerly resided or presently resides in such town has made application to vote at a presidential election in such other state or town, and shall maintain an alphabetical index of such information for a period of one hundred eighty days after the election. The clerk shall compare each such application or statement of information with applications made under the provisions of sections 9-158a to 9-158m, inclusive, and, after the election, with the names checked off as having voted on the check list for the election, to ascertain that any such person has not voted more than once. Whenever the record indicates that any person has applied for a presidential ballot and indicated in his application that he is applying as a former resident, and there is record evidence that such person has applied in another state or town as a new resident, the applicant's ballot shall not be cast in his former town of residence.
