HARRY W. NICE, GOVERNOR. 117

same time, furnish to each of such clerks a sufficient num-
ber of change-of-residence cards on which registrants who
have changed their residence may apply to the Board for
a transfer of registration, and a sufficient number of infor-
mation cards to be handed to non-registered voters indicat-
ing when and where to register. It shall be the duty of such
clerk or clerks to visit the place of residence of every regis-
tered voter of his, her or their assigned precinct, and after
diligent inquiry, check the names on such registration lists,
indicating on the margin: (1) by the word "Present" after
the name of each voter all such who still reside at the same
address as when the last election was held, (2) by the word
"Moved" after the name of each voter who has before the elec-
tion removed from the precinct, and (3) by the word "De-
ceased" after the name of each voter who has died. He shall
also leave cards with registered voters who have moved into
the precinct and information cards with all persons over
twenty-one years of age who have not registered, giving in-
formation as to where and when to register. Two consecutive
weeks shall be allowed for this checking of names. Within
live days after the completion of such checking, the said Board
shall cause to be mailed to each person before whose name
appears the word "Moved" a notification to affirm or deny the
change of address by filling in and signing the necessary
blank and returning it by mail or to appear at the office of the
Board and fill out such blank affirming or denying the change
of address and stating the address to which such person shall
have moved. Upon the return of such blanks duly filled in
with the required information, the Board shall proceed as
in other cases of change of address in accordance with the
provisions of Section 29-M hereof. Failure to return such
blanks or make affirmation or denial, within two weeks from
the time when such notification shall have been mailed, shall
be sufficient cause for the cancellation of the registration of
such person, and his original and duplicate registration cards
and entry of his name, etc., in the precinct book shall be
dealt with as in other cases of cancellation.

29-R. At the close of each calendar year, beginning with
the close of the year 1942, in which there has been a primary
or general election, the Supervisors of Election shall examine
the entries of the several precincts for the purpose of elim-
inating the names of persons who have died or have removed
from the city. It shall also be the duty of said Supervisors
to direct that the registration cards or forms of registered
voters who have not voted at least once at a primary, general
or special election in the two preceding election years, shall be
taken from the original and duplicate files and placed in a
