ELECTIONS. 1243

unless required by a member of the Board. Said list shall be arranged under
the following heading: " Disqualified Voters," under which shall be placed
the name 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; " Re-
moved," under which shall be placed all who are known or supposed to have
removed from their last address.

On each of the Tuesdays before separating, the members of said Board
of Registry representing each of the two leading political parties, shall make
out and deliver to two of their number of opposite politics a list of the
names and addresses of all those whom are on the registers of voters as
qualified voters whom the officers of registration in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section have noted for erasure. The said two
officers of registration to whom such list is delivered shall thereupon pro-
ceed in respect thereto as the provisions of Section 23 of this Article
directed. On each of the Tuesdays, respectively, six and four weeks preced-
ing the regular election in November, the Board of Registry in each pre-
cinct shall, at the beginning of the session receive the report of the said two
officers of registration to whom the aforesaid list was delivered at the
last preceding session, and shall proceed in regard thereto as directed by
the provisions of Section 24 of this Article.

The Board of Registry shall again meet for revision only on the Tuesday
three weeks before said election, and a session shall be held between the
hours of 2 o'clock P. M. and 10 o'clock P. M. The Board of Registry at this
session shall add no new names to the registers of voters, but shall proceed
as the provisions of Section 24 of this Article direct.

The phraseology of the portion of this section relative to persons suspected, com-
pared with that of sec. 24. This section seems intended in itself to make a complete
provision for Baltimore city for the noting of suspected voters. A single member
of board of registry cannot require board to place upon suspected list any voter
named by him, without inquiring into the grounds of the suspicion or belief as to
his disqualification. Wilson v. Carter, 103 Md. 121.

Purpose of requiring an applicant to produce a certificate of his removal from
precinct where he was formerly registered. Such applicant is to be questioned just
as though he had presented himself for registration without being registered else-
where. Although applicant was not questioned as he should have been, he may
prove that he was entitled to register, in which case his name will not be struck off
list. Davis v. O'Berry, 93 Md. 710.

This section referred to in construing sec. 27. Collier v. Carter, 100 Md. 385.

This section referred to in construing secs. 194 and 201; see notes to the latter.
Murphy v. Wachter, 126 Md. 565.

Cited but not construed in Carle v. Musgrove, 77 Md. 176-177.

See notes to secs. 24 and 27.

An. Code, sec. 28. 1904, sec. 27. 1901, ch. 2, sec. 25A. 1908, ch. 285.

30. All persons whom, prior to the passage of the act of 1901, chap-
ter 2 (March 21, 1901), shall have vacated or removed from, or have gone
with their parents from the place of their actual abode, domicile, dwelling
place or habitation within this State, and shall have taken a domicile,
dwelling place, abode or habitation out of this State, shall be conclusively
presumed to have thereby intended to abandon their legal residence in this
State, and to have surrendered their right to registration as legal voters in
