25. On Tuesday three weeks preceding such regular election said board
of registry shall again meet at the place designated and they shall remain
in session during the hours prescribed in section 18 for the sole purpose
of revising their registry, and no new name shall be added. At the begin-
ning of the session the officers of registration to whom such suspected list
was delivered shall make affidavit as to the mailing of the notices sent by
them, and to whom directed and where and as to the personal service upon
such person or as to the leaving of the same at his place of residence so
designated, and if any person to whom such notice was sent shall appear
before the board of registry during that session he shall make and sign an
affidavit in substance as follows: " I do solemnly swear that I am a citizen
of the United States and that I have resided in the ———— precinct of the

——— ward in the city of ———— (or ———— district of ———— county),
in the State of Maryland, from the ———— day of ———— up to the

———— day of ————, 19———, and that I have not since acquired a
legal residence giving me the right to vote elsewhere." If it is charged
that he has been convicted of any infamous crime and has not been par-
doned he shall further make oath that he has never been so convicted, or
if convicted, that he was pardoned at a time stated. This affidavit shall
be signed and sworn to before one of such board of registry and it shall be
preserved and filed in the office of the said board of supervisors of elections.
Thereupon said board of registry shall further examine him and shall also
swear the officer of registration who has made the inquiry and hear him
upon the question, and they shall also have the power to examine on oath
any other witness that may appear or be produced before them in regard to
the matter and make any further examination or inquiry that they may
deem proper; and if after such further examination and hearing the ma-
jority of said board are of the opinion that such person is not a qualified
voter in such precinct they shall draw a line in red ink through his name
and through all other entries on the line on which said name is written,
but so that the name and said other entries shall remain legible, which
memorandum in case of any registration shall indicate that the name of
such person is erased from the registry and such person shall not be en-
titled to vote unless his name is restored as hereinafter provided. During
the last hour of said session if any person so notified to appear at such ses-
sion has not yet appeared and shown cause why his name should not be
erased from the registry the name shall be so erased in the manner afore-
said, unless a majority of the board are satisfied of their own knowledge
or upon competent testimony that such person is entitled to have his name
