............ 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 said ............ city

or county; that I have removed from said last-mentioned residence, and
that 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 Avritten 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, or by the Supervisors
of Elections or a clerk designated by them 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

covery. It shall be the duty of the Board of Registry, after the close of each

known or supposed to be dead and the names of all persons who are sus-
pected 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 precinct 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 city. 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
