The foregoing certificate shall be granted by the Board of
Registry when in session, or by the Board of Supervisors of
Elections prior to said session of the Board of Registry under
the following regulations; that is to say: If at the time ap-
plication for said removal certificate is made the name of the
said voter is already erased from the registry, then it shall
be the duty of the said Board of Supervisors or the said Board
of Registry to grant the certificate to the voter himself or to
any other person making application therefor. But if at the
time such application is made the name of the voter be still

tificate shall be granted and the name stricken off only upon

visors or to the said Board of Registry, and after his taking and
subscribing to an oath substantially as follows: "I..........

do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I now reside at...........

in.............. county; that I am the same person who is

entered by that name as a qualified voter in the registers of the
.......... precinct of.......... county; that I have removed

from the said last-mentioned residence and 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 fore-
going affidavit shall be written or printed on the back of such
certificate of removal, and when presented to the Board of Reg-
istry of the precinct in which such applicant resides, it shall
be taken by such Board and returned to the office of Supervisors
of Elections. When such certificate shall be granted, either by
the Board of Registry or by the Supervisors of Elections, as the
case may be, the name of such applicant shall be erased from
the registers of the precinct from which he removed.
