If a registrar of voters of a town, after a request from the Jury Administrator pursuant to section 51-222a, fails to provide the list to the Jury Administrator or to the Jury Administrator's representative, the Jury Administrator shall notify the state's attorney for the judicial district of the town from which such list has not been received and shall, at the same time, notify the registrar of voters of such town that such list has not been received.
