case the person registering shall make his mark. The
Supervisors, acting as Registration Officials, shall have the
registration books at the place and at the times designated
as above set out for registration, and shall swear each ap-
plicant for registration, and if upon examination of such
applicant they both agree that such applicant is a qualified
voter in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof,
they shall each register his or her name, and all persons
so registered shall be entitled to vote at town elections so
long as their names appear upon such registration books.

The Supervisors of Election, acting as Registration
Officials, on the first of said registration days herein pro-
vided for, whenever an affidavit is made before them by
any registered voter of said town that any name upon said
books is not entitled to be thereon, shall note said name,
and shall, by placing in the United States mail addressed
to said voter at the place of residence set out in said reg-
istration books with sufficient postage prepaid, a notice
that his name has been noted for striking off and that they
will act thereon on the second day of registration, notify
the party whose name has been noted that they will act
upon his right to remain upon said books on said second
day of registration. The said Supervisors of Election, sit-
ting as Registration Officials, may also on said first regis-
tration day take such action with regard to any name of
their own motion. On the second of said registration days
the said Supervisors of Election sitting as Registration Of-
ficials shall pass upon all of the names noted as above set
out, and after hearing such evidence as may be presented
before them, shall determine whether such name shall remain
upon said books, or shall be stricken off, and in case they
shall decide that any of such names shall be stricken off,
they shall draw a line in red ink through such names on
the registration books and shall write in red ink at the
end of said line the words "stricken off, " the reason there-
for, and the date, and the party whose name is thus
stricken off shall not be entitled to vote in said town until
his name be replaced thereon as hereinafter provided.

Any person feeling aggrieved at the action of the Super-
visors of Election acting as Registration Officials in refus-
ing to register him, or in striking his or her name from
the books; or in registering some other person, or refusing
to strike from the books the name of some other person,
shall have the right of appeal to the Circuit Court of
Prince George's County at any time within five days, ex-
clusive of Sundays and legal holidays, from the action of
the Officials by whom he is aggrieved, which appeal shall
