270 ELECTIONS. [ART. XXXIII
causing the issuance of the proclamation aforesaid, may vote as herein-
after provided.
1918, ch. 78. sec. 222.
222. At any time not more than 45 days before the holding of any
election, any such person who expects to be absent on election day may
make application in writing to the Board of Supervisors of Elections
of the County, or Baltimore City, in which he resides, for a ballot.
Such application must be received by the Supervisors of Elections not
less than seven days before the holding of any election, and shall con-
tain the full name and the place of residence, by street and number, if
possible, from which the applicant is registered, and the address to
which the ballot is to be mailed to him. The application shall also state
the position or rank in the military or naval service which the applicant
holds. Upon receipt of such application it shall be the duty of the
respective Boards of Supervisors of Elections to enter the fact that such
application has been made, together with any other proper information,
in a book to be kept especially for that purpose. The Supervisors of
Elections shall verify from the registration and other books and records
in their custody, and from any other information obtainable, the state-
ments contained in the applications and the applicants' qualifications
to vote under this sub-title. The Supervisors shall mail ballots to those
found so qualified to vote and shall enter that fact in the special book
hereinbefore provided for.
1918, ch. 78, sec. 223.
223. The Supervisors of Elections of the counties and Baltimore
City shall mail to each applicant found to be a duly qualified voter as
aforesaid one ballot, two envelopes and a card of instructions. The
applicant's name shall be written in ink by the Supervisors of Elections
upon the coupon attached to the ballot, and in the case of primary elec-
tions the ballot sent shall be that of the political party with which such
applicant is affiliated. The Supervisors of Elections shall have a suffi-
cient number of ballots to be sent by mail printed for each county and
the City of Baltimore. The words "Mail Ballot" shall be printed in
large letters, in a clear space at the top of each of such ballots. The
designation of the polling place shall be left blank on the back and out-
side of "Mail Ballots," and shall be filled in by the Supervisors of Elec-
tions before being sent to any voter. One envelope shall be known as
the "Return Envelope" and shall be sufficiently larger than the "Ballot
Envelope," hereinafter described, to conveniently enclose and contain
the "Ballot Envelope." There shall be printed or written across the
left-hand face of the "Return Envelope" the words, "Return Envelope
for election of ———," the blank space being filled in with the date of
said election, after which shall be added the words "Supervisors of
Elections of Baltimore City" or "Supervisors of Elections of ——
County" as the case may be.
