19. Any voter shall be permitted to be present at the place of reg-
istration in any precinct of his county or city, and shall have the right
to challenge any applicant, and when challenged such applicant shall be
carefully questioned by the board of registry touching the facts which
entitle him to register in such precinct, and thereupon, if a majority of
the board is convinced that such applicant is a qualified voter, he shall
be entered as qualified. Any person claiming to be a voter of any pre-
cinct, and who, upon application, is denied the right to be registered
as a qualified voter in said precinct may make and sign an application
in writing, under oath, to the court, as hereinafter provided, in sub-
stance in the following form: "I, —————, do solemnly swear that I
did, on ————, make application to the board of registry of the ————
precinct or district of ———— county (or the ———— precinct of the
———— ward of the city of ————), and that said board refused to reg-
ister me as a qualified voter in said precinct; that I am a duly qualified
voter entitled to vote in said precinct at the next election."

scribed in section 17, for the purpose of registering all qualified voters
not before registered who shall apply in person to be registered, and
also for the purpose of noting the names of any persons on such registry
whom they suspect not to be qualified voters. The same forms shall be
observed as to the applications made on these days as were required on
the former day of registration. If any voter of the ward or county shall
go before the board of registry during such sessions and make oath that
he believes any specified person upon such registry is not a qualified
voter, such fact shall be noted. At the end of the registration for each
of these days the registers shall be examined, compared and made to
agree, and they shall then be signed immediately, under the last name
registered, under each letter, in the same way as hereinbefore provided.
