P.R. Laws tit. 16, § 4073
The Commission shall establish, by regulation, a system whereby any registered voter may request the reactivation of his registration after being inactive for not voting in a general election. Likewise, the Commission shall establish a system whereby registrations may be transferred from one precinct to another due to change of voting residence. The process to relocate voters who, due to a change of residence, request registration relocation from one electoral unit to another within the same precinct shall also be prescribed through regulations.
The Commission shall also establish a system whereby voters may request the renewal of their voter identification card if it has expired, pursuant to the provisions of this subtitle, if it has become deteriorated, or if it has been lost. A sworn statement attesting to the circumstances related to the loss shall be included with the request.
Before establishing the necessary administrative, technical, and programming controls, the Commission may adopt procedures to allow registered voters to carry out such transactions by regular mail or by electronic means such as telephone and the Internet. For such purposes, the Commission shall enter into collaboration agreements with agencies that offer other services to voters, such as the Electric Power Authority, the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, the Department of the Family, the Department of the Treasury, the Municipal Revenues Collection Center (CRIM, Spanish acronym), among others; to notify the Commission in the official form prescribed by the same, a voter’s change of residence or mailing address. The Local Commission of each Precinct shall approve each one of such transactions as provided in § 4080 of this title before they are processed by the corresponding Permanent Registration Board in accordance with the regulations adopted by the State Election Commission.
