tered voters of said city or five registered voters in any such

may be made not less than forty days prior to said election
by the Mayor of Baltimore and City Council of the City of
Baltimore or the County Commissioners of such county, or
not less than twenty days prior to said election by petition
bearing the signatures written in their own handwriting
(and not by their mark) of not less than 5 per cent of the
registered voters of the said City of Baltimore or said coun-
ty; provided, that in any case two thousand signatures of
registered voters shall be sufficient to complete any such
nominating petition, and if not more than eleven registered
voters of the City of Baltimore or not more than five reg-
istered voters in any such county are so nominated their
names shall not be printed on the ballot, but said eleven
registered voters in the City of Baltimore or five in such
county shall constitute said charter board from and after
the date of said election. At said election the ballot shall
contain the names of said nominees in alphabetical order
without any indication of the source of their nomination,
and shall also be so arranged as to permit the voter to vote
for or against the creation of said charter board, but the
vote cast against said creation shall not be held to bar the
voter from expressing his choice among the nominees for
said board, and if the majority of the votes cast for and
against the creation of said charter board shall be against
said creation the election of the members of said charter
board shall be void; but if such majority shall be in favor
of the creation of said charter board, then and in that event
the eleven nominees of the City of Baltimore or five mem-
bers in the county receiving the largest number of votes shall
constitute the charter board, and said charter board, or a
majority thereof, shall prepare within six months from the
date of said election a charter or form of government for
said city or such county and present the same to the Mayor
of Baltimore or President of the Board of County Commis-
sioners of such county, who shall publish the same in at
least two newspapers of general circulation published in
said the City of Baltimore or county within thirty days
after it shall be reported to him. Such charter shall be sub-
mitted to the voters of said city or county at the next gen-
eral or Congressional election after the report of said char-
ter to said Mayor of Baltimore or President of the Board of
County Commissioners; and if a majority of the votes cast
for and against the adoption of said charter shall be in favor
of such adoption, the said charter from and after the thir-
tieth day from the date of such election shall become the
law of said city or county, subject only to the Constitution
