The procedure to be used by the commissioners of election and the registrars to form subprecincts and to make subprecinct pollbooks shall be as follows, and in the following order: (a) Identify those subprecinct areas in each voting precinct, if any, where all persons within such subprecincts shall vote on the same candidates for each public office; (b) The portion of each voting precinct with the largest population shall retain the original voting precinct designation and those portions of each voting precinct with smaller populations shall be called subprecincts and identified by the original voting precinct designation with the suffixes "a", "b", "c", et cetera, for as many subprecincts as are formed for any given precinct; (c) The qualified electors residing in each subprecinct shall be identified; and (d) The names of the qualified electors so identified whose names appear on the original voting precinct pollbook shall be transferred to and placed upon the appropriate subprecinct pollbook, and a notation of such transfer shall be made opposite such names in the original voting precinct pollbook. Such electors so identified shall be notified by regular mail that they reside in a newly formed subprecinct; however, failure to give such notice shall not invalidate an otherwise valid election.
