right to vote, provided they shall declare their intentions to vote for the
candidate or candidates of the party at whose primary they tender their
ballots.

permitted to make any change in his party affiliation unless the same shall
be made at least six months prior to the day of the primary election.

195. As many different sets of official ballots shall be printed and sup-
plied by the Board of Supervisors of Elections of Dorchester County at
each polling place, and as many ballot boxes shall be used at each polling
place as there are separate party nominations, delegates, executives or
managing or executive bodies to be voted for; and to prevent voters belong-
ing to or acting with one political party from inadvertently or intentionally
casting their ballots for the candidate for nomination for office or election
as delegate to any convention or as executive or member of an executive or
managing committee of any other party, and to facilitate its being promptly
detected if so cast, the ballots of the several parties shall be printed upon
opaque paper of different colors, to be determined by the Board of Super-
visors of Elections of Dorchester County; and until after the next general
registration in Dorchester County every person offering to vote at a
primary election shall be required to state to which party he belongs and
which party's candidate he intends to vote for at the State or county elec-
tion, and every qualified person offering to vote in Dorchester County at
a primary election shall be permitted to vote in the primary election of
that party to which he belongs and which party candidate he intends to vote
for at the State or county election in Dorchester County. After the next
general registration in Dorchester County, every qualified person offering
to vote at a primary election shall be permitted to vote in the primary
election of that party only with which he shall appear upon the books of
registration to be affiliated. The Board of Supervisors of Elections in
Dorchester County is hereby authorized and required, immediately upon
the passage of this Act (April 13, 1914), to have prepared new books of
registry for use in all of the districts or precincts of the said Dorchester
County for the transcribing of the names of the qualified voters residing
therein from the registration books in use. The said transcribing shall be
done in the office of the Board of Supervisors of Elections of Dorchester
County by four (4) clerks to be selected, two by the supervisors repre-
senting the majority party and two by the supervisors representing the
minority party as the said parties are now constituted in this State.
The transcribing shall be done by said clerks, and the new books, after
being transcribed, shall correspond in all respects, and if they do not
correspond at the conclusion of the work, or if any error in transcribing
