shall have been selected from the principal minority party and shall
be [removable] subject to removal by such member of the board in
his discretion but not by the vote of a majority of the members of the
board. Each board in its discretion may also set up supplemental
boards of registry as from time to time may be deemed necessary to
aid and expedite the work of the board of registry; such supplemental

opposite political parties and shall be appointed one by the board
member representing the majority party and one by the board mem-
ber representing the principal minority party.

qualified voters at such places within the State of Maryland where
large numbers of citizens from various counties temporarily reside,
including but not limited to, institutions of higher learning, and
these boards of registry shall be empowered to register residents of
any county or the City of Baltimore as voters therein. These boards
of registry shall consist of two members; each of opposite political
parties and one member shall be appointed by the State Board mem-
bers representing the majority party and one by the State Board
members representing the principal minority party. THESE
BOARDS OF REGISTRY SHALL BE REGULARLY EMPLOYED

declared to be an emergency measure and necessary for the immedi-
ate preservation of the public health and safety and having been
passed by a yea and nay vote supported by three-fifths of all the
members elected to each of the two Houses of the General Assembly,
the same shall take effect from the date of its passage.
