Section 29-M of this Article, the name, address, sex and color
of such person shall be entered in said book; whenever the
registration of any person shall be cancelled, a red line shall
be drawn through the name of such person and through all
other entries on the same line. The registration records shall
be open to public inspection under reasonable regulations at
all times when the office of the Board is open for business,
except that, during the thirty-five days preceding and the ten
days following an election, such records shall not be open to
public inspection except upon the special order of the Board.
The binders containing the precinct registers shall be
securely locked and the keys safely kept by the Supervisors
of Election and the cabinets containing the duplicate forms
shall also be securely locked, and neither the binders nor cab-

Supervisors and then only by a clerk or other employee of said
Board.

the Board.

from any Board of Registry of any form containing informa-

was not entitled to register in the precinct in which he or she
has registered or which creates a doubt as to such right, said
Board of Supervisors shall cause a notice to be mailed to such
applicant, directing him or her to appear within such reason-
able time as shall he named in such notice. Upon the appear-

within the time so named, his or her registration shall be
cancelled, unless it shall clearly appear that such applicant is
entitled to register in the precinct in which he or she is regis-
tered or in another precinct of Baltimore City, in which latter
event the form shall be transferred to such precinct. Any
