The letter or form for the change must include the elector's new residence address, mailing address if different from the residence address, old address, printed name, birth date, last four digits of the elector's social security number, if the elector wishes to state them, and signature and the date.

(2) Any address change made on the same form or personal letter as a change or withdrawal of affiliation or name change shall be accepted by the county clerk and recorder if the form or personal letter is signed indicating that the elector intended to make the change or withdrawal indicated on the form or in the personal letter.

(3) Any eligible elector who is unable to write may request assistance from the county clerk and recorder, and the county clerk and recorder shall sign the form, witnessing the elector's mark, or the elector may have his or her mark attested to by any other person on a prescribed form or personal letter, if the request is not made at the office of the county clerk and recorder.

(4) (a) Any eligible elector may complete a change of address form stating, under penalty of perjury, that the elector moved before the election and that, on the day of the election, the elector will be living at the new address in the new precinct.

(I) By appearing in-person at a voter service and polling center or clerk and recorder's office in the county in which the elector resides, at any time during which the voter service and polling center or office is open;

(II) By submitting, on or before the eighth day before an election, an electronic change of address form through the online voter registration system established pursuant to section 1-2-202.5; or
