such regular election, and on the Wednesday next following said Tues-
days, respectively, said Board of Registry shall again meet at the place
designated, and shall remain in session during the hours prescribed 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
days of registration. If any voter of the ward or county shall go before
the Board of Begistry 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.
