approaching election, or who shall vote in any election district
or ward in which he does not reside (except in the case pro-
vided for in this Article), or shall, at the same election, vote

he does not reside.

Sec. 5. The General Assembly shall provide by law for a
uniform Registration of the names of all the voters in this
State who possess the qualifications prescribed in this Article,
which Registration shall be conclusive evidence to the Judges

at any election thereafter held in this State; but no person
shall vote at any election, Federal or State, hereafter to be held
in this State, or at any municipal election in the City of Balti-

the Registration of the names of voters, the law in force on
the first day of June, in the year eighteen hundred and sixty-
