EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 265

has been a registered voter in this State, and has actually voted
on such previous registration; but they shall note his answers
to the questions, when and in what Court he was naturalized,
and also in the column headed "remarks" where and when he
was so previously registered. (J) Under the column "Court",
the designation of the Court in which, if naturalized, such
naturalization was had. (K) Under the column "qualified
voter", the Word "yes" if the fact shall appear or be deter-
mined by a majority of the Board of Registry, or the word
"no", if such fact be not established to the satisfaction of the
majority of the Board. (L) Under the column "date of
application", the month, day and year when the applicant pre-
sented himself. (N) After the answers of the applicant to
the questions under the heads of each and all of the above men-
tioned columns have been properly entered by the officers in his
presence in both registers, and not until then he shall be asked
to sign his name upon the same line under the column '' signa-
ture", in each of them, and shall sign his name, if he can do so.
If, however, he shall state his inability to do so, or declines to
do so, the officers shall make the entry "cannot write" or
"declines", as the case may be, in the place for such signature.
The Board of Registry shall be entitled to receive from the
officers having custody thereof the last preceding registration
books, for the purpose of comparison and assistance in identi-
fication, and if anyone shall apply for registration who appeared
in such former registry as disqualified, his name shall be entered
in the new register, but he shall be marked "disqualified", un-
less such grounds of disqualification shall have been removed.
At the end of the day's registry said officers shall compare the
two registers so kept, and cause any errors in either of them
to be corrected, by aid of the entries in the other, so as to make
the same agree where there is any difference between them.
Each of the said officers having the custody of any of said
registers shall then sign his name or initials immediately under
the last name registered under each letter in the book kept by
him, so that no new name can be added without discovery. The
said Board of Registry shall keep, on blanks to be provided for
that purpose by the Board of Supervisors of Elections, an
alphabetical list of names, addresses and color of all persons
registered, and a separate list of all persons refused registration,
and of all persons whose names are erased from the registry.
In the City of Baltimore, at the end of each session, they shall
deliver these lists to the police officers on duty at the registra-
