determining of all applications for reinstatement; at which final
sitting said officers of registration shall sit for said purpose only.
In all cases when a name is stricken off, the reason shall be
recorded opposite such name, and when a name is stricken off
upon the oath of any person, the name of such person shall be
recorded opposite the name stricken off. At the end of each
day's registry, or revision of registration, one of said registers in
the city, or the register in the county, shall sign his name or
initials immediately under the last name registered under each
letter, so that no new name can be added without discovery.
And should any of said officers of registration of the several
counties of this State be unable to sit and register the qualified
voters of their respective election districts on the next to the final
day of the October sitting, by reason of sickness or other unavoid-
able cause, all persons qualified to be registered, who shall appear
in person at the place of registration on said day, and who shall
fail to be registered by reason of such disability of the officer of
registration, shall have the same right of appeal as if they had
been refused registration by the officer of registration. The pro-
visions of this section, so far as they refer to the striking off of
names from the registry lists, shall not apply to the action of the
officers of registration in the city of Baltimore in the years in
which there is an entire new registration in said city, as herein-
after provided.

fied and registered voters, delivered to said respective officers by
said respective clerks of courts, and the other one of which
alphabetical lists shall comprise the names and residences of the
persons whom said respective officers of registration have newly
registered as qualified voters in their respective election districts
or election precincts at their said preceding sitting, and also the
names of those persons whom the proper judges or judge, acting
under the authority conferred by this article, have or has
ordered to be registered in said election district or election pre-
