The petition shall be sworn to and shall be accompanied by proof of service to the respondent voter and the election registrar, unless the latter is himself the petitioner. Final decisions of courts ordering the exclusion of a voter shall be transmitted immediately to the election registrar who shall accordingly remove the application from the book of voters and place the same in the inactive file after entering therein the corresponding notations regarding the exclusion. If the decision is received after the books of voters have been delivered to the election committee, the voter so excluded shall not be permitted to vote upon presentation to the election committee of a certified copy of the order of exclusion. Notices of the exclusion order shall be sent by the election registrar to the Commission and to the provincial election supervisor for their corresponding action.
