106 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 77

Board of Registry and after his taking and subscribing an
oath substantially as follows:

"I,............ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I now

reside at.............. in the city of............... county of

............; that I am the same person who is entered by

that name as a qualified voter in the registers of the..........

precinct of said.......... city or county; that I have removed

from said last-mentioned residence, and that I do request that
the proper entries and records be made and that my name be
erased from the registers of said last-mentioned precinct, and
that a certificate of removal be furnished me at this time. "

The foregoing affidavit shall be written or printed on the
back of such certificate of removal, and when presented to
the Board of Registry in the precinct in which such applicant
resides, it shall be taken by said Board and returned to the
office of the Supervisors of Elections. When such certificate
shall be granted by a Board of Registry, or by the Supervisors
of Elections or a Clerk designated by them the name of such
applicant shall be erased from the register of the precinct
from which he removed. At the end of each such session
the registers shall be made to agree where there is any differ-
ence between them, and then the officers of registration hav-
ing the custody thereof shall sign their names or initials in
their respective registry books immediately under the last
name registered 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 disqualified 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 com-
plaint 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 satisfied that such complaint is untrue, they need not note
such name for erasure unless required by a member of the
