      Sec. 9-31l. Appeal from decision of admitting official. (a) Any appeal from a decision of an admitting official concerning the right of a person to be or remain an elector shall be made to the registrars of voters of the town where such right is in dispute, except that an appeal from the decision of a registrar shall be made to the board for admission of electors of such town.

      (b) Notice of an appeal shall be in writing delivered to the registrars or to the board for admission of electors. Within seven days after receipt of a notice of appeal, the registrars or the board, as the case may be, shall give written notice of the time and place where such appeal will be heard to the appellant and to the official whose decision is the subject of the appeal. Such appeal shall be heard within twenty-one days after notice of the appeal is delivered to the registrars or the board. A registrar whose decision is the subject of the appeal shall not be a voting member of the board which hears the appeal.

      (c) The registrars or the board may receive sworn testimony and any other evidence relating to the qualifications of such person to be or remain an elector.

      (d) Within seven days after hearing an appeal, the registrars or the board shall render a decision and shall send written notice of the decision to the appellant, the official whose decision was the subject of the appeal and, if he is not the appellant, the person whose right to be or remain an elector was in dispute.
