ART. 33] REGISTRATION. 539

of such voter to the said Board of Registry, and after his taking and
subscribing an oath substantially as follows:

"I, .................... do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I now

reside at ................... in the City of ...................

County .................. of ..................; that I am the

same person who is entered by that name as a qualified voter in the
registers of the ............... precinct of the ...............

City; that I have removed from said last-mentioned residence, and I
do. request that the .proper entries and records be made and that my
name be erased from the registers of said last-mentioned precinct, and
that a certificate of removal be furnished me at, this time."

The foregoing affidavit shall be written or printed on the back of such
certificate of removal and when presented to the Board of Registry in the
precinct in which such applicant resides, it shall be taken by said Board
and returned to the office of the Supervisors of Elections. When such
certificate shall be granted by the Board of Registry the name of such
applicant shall be erased from the register of the precinct from which he
removed. At the end of each such sessions the registers shall be made to
agree where there is any difference between them, and then the officers of
registration having the custody thereof shall sign their names or initials
in their respective registry books immediately under the last name
registered under each letter on said registers so that no new name can
be added thereto without discovery. It shall be the duty of the Board
of Registry, after the close of each session to note for erasure from such
registers the names of all persons known or supposed to be dead and
the names of all persons who are suspected of being disqualified under
Sections 2 and 3 of Article 1 of the Constitution of the State, and the
. names of all persons who are supposed to have removed from such pre-
cinct and have not taken out removal papers and of all persons who are
suspected to be otherwise disqualified as voters, and they shall, before
separating, make out a list of all persons so noted for erasure with the
address as the same appears upon the registers. In making out such
list said Board of Registry shall treat as persons suspected of not being
qualified voters all persons against whom a sworn complaint is filed by
any voter in the ward. Such complaint shall be as follows: ........

a voter of..................ward, do solemnly swear that I believe

.....................who professes to reside at..................

is not a qualified voter in the..................... precinct of the

......................ward, on the ground, (here state the reason).

If a majority of the Board know, or are satisfied that such complaint
is untrue they need not note such name for erasure unless required
by a member of the Board. Said list shall be arranged under the fol-
lowing headings: "Disqualified 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,
under which shall be placed all who are known or supposed to be dead;
