HARRY W. NICE, GOVERNOR. 115

order according to streets in the precincts. All such lists
shall be prepared in sheet form and on one side of the paper.
Each precinct list shall be headed "Register of voters, " and
under the heading shall be indicated the ward and precinct
followed by the statement:

"Any voter of the city on or before the twenty-first day
prior to the election may file with the Board of Supervisors
of Election at the Board's offices located at...............

objections to the registration of any person on this list who,
he or she has reason to believe, is not eligible to vote, or a re-
quest for the addition to the list of registered voters whose
names have been omitted or who have been erroneously
dropped from the registration list of the precinct. "
Appended to each precinct list shall be attached the names
of the members of the Board and the name of the chief clerk.
A sufficient number of such lists, but not to exceed fifty lists
of each precinct, may be provided for distribution to such can-
dates or political parties as shall apply therefor. Not later
than twenty-six days before the election the Board shall cause
one copy of each such precinct list to be conspicuously posted
and displayed at the polling place in each such precinct.

Application for the correction of any such precinct regis-

named on such list may be made by any qualified voter of the
city at the office of the Board not later than twenty-one days
prior to the election. Such applications or challenges, with
the reasons therefor, shall be filed on forms provided by the
Board for that purpose and shall be attested by the oath of
such qualified voter.

Two members of the Board, of opposite political parties,
shall sit for the purpose of hearing applications for changes
in such lists, or challenges of the right to vote of persons
on such lists, on the Tuesday two weeks before an election
between the hours of 9: 00 A. M. and 12: 00 M., and between
the hours of 1: 00 P. M. and 5: 00 P. M., and such other hours
as such members may fix. If all such applications or chal-
lenges be not determined on that day, such members of the
Board shall sit during the same hours on succeeding days
until all cases are heard and decided. If such members of the
Board are unable to hear all such cases within one week from
the time when such sessions shall commence, they may appoint
one or more Boards of two members each of opposite political
parties to aid in hearing such applications or challenges, and
may allow such persons not to exceed twelve dollars per day
for each day served. Persons whose right to register has been
challenged and persons whose names, it is alleged, have been
erroneously omitted from the list shall be notified and may
