1424 ARTICLE 33

registration having the custody thereof shall sign their names or initials in
their respective registry books immediately under the last name regis-
tered under each letter on said registers so that no new name can be added
thereto without discovery. It shall be the duty of the Board of Registry,
after the close of each session to note for erasure from such registers
the names of all persons known or supposed to be dead and the names of all
persons who are suspected 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 all persons who are suspected to be otherwise dis-
qualified 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 satis-
fied that such complaint is untrue, they need not note such name for erasure
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;
"Removed," 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 who 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 25 of this Article direct.
On each of the Tuesdays, respectively, six and four weeks preceding the
regular election in November, the Board of Registry in each precinct 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 preced-
ing session, and shall proceed in regard thereto as directed by the provisions
of Section 25 of this Article.

The Board of Registry shall again meet for revision only on the Tues-
day 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 26 of this Article direct.

The Board of Election Supervisors of Baltimore City is hereby author-
ized and empowered to make any and all changes in or additions to its
current registration books and other records necessary to carry out the
provisions of this Act.

The phraseology of the portion of this section relative to persons suspected, compared
with that of sec. 25. This section seems intended in itself to make a complete pro-
