visors to allow such applicant to cast his ballot, and should the answer
of the said applicant be in the negative to either of the above questions,
then and in that event he shall not be allowed to vote. Should the appli-
cant answer either one of the above provided questions falsely, he shall
be guilty of the crime of perjury and subject to the penalties provided by
the law of the State of Maryland. The Judges shall provide themselves
with a list of the registered voters living within the boundaries of said

preceding the town election which they have been appointed to conduct.
They shall also prepare ballots containing the names of those persons who
have complied with the provisions herein specified making them eligible
to become a candidate for the office for which they seek. The Mayor and
Town Council shall receive all returns of election and determine all ques-
tions arising thereunder, but any voter who feels that he has been aggrieved
by any ruling as to the eligibility of his right to vote may file an appeal
to the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, and the same shall be
determined by said Court

all persons entitled to vote at the town elections, and shall appoint the time
and the place of registration and give public notice thereof by advertise-

shall arrange for two days of registration, the earliest of which shall be
not more than forty days before the ensuing election to be held on the first
Monday in July and the last of which shall not be less than thirty days
before said election. On said days of registration, it shall be the duty of
all qualified residents desiring to vote at the ensuing election to apply
for registration, and no person not so registered shall be entitled to vote at
said election. It shall be the duty of said Board of Registration and
