ART. 33] REGISTRATION. 861

not note such name for erasure unless required by a member of the
board. Said list shall be arranged under the following headings: "Dis-
qualified Voters," under which shall be placed the names of persons
suspected to be disqualified under sections 2 and 3 of article 1 of the
constitution, or otherwise; "Deceased Voters," under1 which shall be
placed all who are known or supposed to be dead; "Removed," under
which shall be placed all who are known or supposed to have removed
from their last address.

On each of the Tuesdays before separating said board of registry
shall make out and deliver to two of their number, of opposite politics,
a list of the registry addresses of all those whose names are on the
registers of voters as qualified voters whom the officers of registration
in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section have noted
for erasure. The said two officers of registration to whom such list
is delivered shall thereupon proceed in respect thereto as the provisions
of section 20 of this article direct. On each of the Tuesdays, respec-
tively, six, five and four weeks preceding the regular election in
November, the board of registry in each precinct, shall, at the beginning
of the session receive the report of the said two officers of registration
to whom the aforesaid list was delivered at the last preceding session
and shall proceed in regard thereto as directed by the provisions of
section 21 of this article.

The board of registry shall again meet for revision only on the
Tuesday three weeks before said election and a session shall be held
between the hours of 12 M. and 10 P. M. The board of registry at this
session shall add no new name to the registers of voters, but shall
proceed as the provisions of section 21 of this article direct.

The phraseology of the portion of this section relative to persons sus-
pected, compared with that of section 21. This section seems intended in
itself to make a complete provision for Baltimore city for the noting of sus-
pected voters. A single member of the board of registry can not require the
board to place upon the suspected list any voter named by Mm, without
inquiring into the grounds of the suspicion or belief as to his disqualification.
Wilson v. Carter, 103 Md. 121.

Purpose of requiring an applicant to produce a certificate of his removal
from the precinct where he was formerly registered. Such applicant is to be
questioned Just as though he had presented himself for registration without
being registered elsewhere. Although an applicant was not questioned as he
should have been, he may prove that he was entitled to register, in which case
his name will not be struck off the list. Davis v. O'Berry, 93 Md. 710.

This section referred to in construing section 25. Collier v. Carter, 100
Md. 385.

Cited but not construed in Carle v. Musgrove, 77 Md. 176-177,

dwelling place or habitation within this State, and shall have taken
a domicile, dwelling place, abode or habitation out of this State, shall
be conclusively presumed to have thereby intended to abandon their
