  board  within  two  weeks  after the last day of registration, or within
  five days after the date  of  the  voter's  receipt  of  notice  of  the
  rejection of his application, upon proper proof, and upon such notice to
  the  chairman  of  the  county  committees of the several parties as the
  board shall prescribe, direct that he  be  registered  in  the  election
  district  in which he is a qualified voter. The directions of the county
  board of elections shall be carried out by  the  board  itself,  by  its

  of  elections,  within  two  weeks  of  the  date of such notice, may be
  registered by the board of elections.

  application not later than one week after it is made.
    4.  If  any applicant is registered pursuant to the provisions of this
  section, such registration shall be deemed effective as of the  date  of
  the wrongful denial of the right to register.
