made the name of the voter is already erased from the registry, then it
shall be the duty of the Board of Supervisors or said registration officers
to grant the certificate to the voter himself or to any person making
application therefor; but if at the time such application shall be made
the name of the voter be still on the registry of voters as a qualified voter,
the removal certificate shall be granted and the same stricken off, only on
the personal application of such voter to the Board of Supervisors or to
the Board of Registry, and after his taking and subscribing an oath sub-
stantially as follows : "I ............... do solemnly swear (or affirm)

that I now reside at ............. in Frederick City, and that I am the

same person who is entered by that name as a qualified voter on the
registers of the ...... precinct of said city, and that I have, removed

from said last mentioned residence and I do request the proper entries
and records to be made and that my name be erased from the registers of
said last mentioned precinct, and that a certificate of removal be fur-
nished to me at this time." The foregoing affidavit shall be written or
printed on the back of such removal certificate, and when presented to the
Board of Registry of the precinct in which the applicant resides it shall
be taken up by said Board and returned to the office of the Board of
Supervisors of Elections. When such, certificate shall be granted either
by said Board of Registry or by the Supervisors of Elections, as the case
may be, the name of such applicant shall be erased from the register of
the precinct from which he removed.
