SEC. 5. And be It further enacted, That the election of the
Mayor and Councilmen (except as herein provided for the
first election to be held hereunder), shall be held on the first
Monday in May in each year at a place to be designated by the
Mayor and Common Council, at which elections the polls
shall remain open from seven o'clock A. M. to seven o'clock
P. M.

On or before the first day of April in each and every year,
the Mayor and Common Council shall appoint two qualified
voters of said town not holding any other office thereunder
as Supervisors of Election, and two Clerks of Election. Such
Supervisors of Election shall also act as registrations officials
and judges of election at any election held during the year
succeeding their appointment. In case of a vacancy occurring
the Mayor and Common Council shall appoint a qualified per-
son to fill such vacancy, except that when such vacancy occurs,
or any such person fails or refuses to act at a time too close
to an election to convene the Mayor and Common Council,
then such vacancy shall be filled by the remaining election
officials to hold office until the next meeting of the Mayor and
Common Council. The said Supervisors of Election shall ap-
point by at least ten printed or typewritten notices posted
in at least ten conspicuous places in said town, at least five
days before the first registration day, two days for registra-
tion in each and every year, which shall be not less than fif-
teen days nor more than thirty days before the first Monday
in May in such year, on which days the said Supervisors of
Election shall sit as registration officials at some easily acces-
sible place in said town to be named in said advertisement
from the hours of seven A. M. to seven P. M. At least three
days shall intervene between the two registration days herein
provided for. The Supervisors of Election acting as registra-
tion officials at 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 registration books
with sufficient postage prepaid, a notice that his or her name
has been noted for striking off, and that they will act thereon
on the second day of registration, and notify the party who
has been noted that they will act upon his or her right to
remain upon said registration books on said second day of
registration. The said Supervisors of Election may also on
said first registration day take such action with regard to any
name of their own motion. On the second of said registra-
tion days, the said Supervisors of Election shall pass upon
