1318 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 761
Any person feeling aggrieved at the action of the supervisors
of election in refusing to register him or her, or in striking
his or her name, shall have the right of appeal to the Circuit
Court in the manner, and according to the procedure now
provided for appeals from County Registration officers.
Any person, having the qualifications provided for herein,
may become a candidate for Town Commissioner by filing with
either of said supervisors of election, at least 15 days prior
to the election, a certificate that he is a candidate, that he has
the required qualifications, and by giving his age, residence,
occupation and a reference to the Land Records showing the
ownership of his real estate, provided that such certificate
shall be endorsed by at least 20 qualified voters of said Town.
The qualifications of said candidate, or of those endorsing him,
shall not be subject to review of said supervisors, but may be
decided and determined by the Circuit Court for said County
either before or after election, in any proper procedure, upon
the petition of any five (5) voters. In the event that less than
five persons shall file as candidates, or any candidate having
filed, dies or withdraws, the said supervisors may receive peti-
tions of candidacy up to within three days of said election.
The said supervisors shall, for said election, cause to be made
up official ballots, upon clear white paper of a convenient size,
in the usual form of County ballots, and shall post a sample
or facsimile of said ballot in ten public places not later than
the day before said election. The names on said ballots shall
be arranged alphabetically with at least five blank spaces in
which the voters may write in and vote for one or more can-
didates, and said ballots shall be voted by making a cross (X)
in the square provided opposite the name of each candidate.
The Commissioners of said Town shall at the regular meet-
ing next before the first Monday in May in each biennium ap-
point two qualified voters of said Town to act as Clerks of
Election, and the said two Clerks of Election together with
the Supervisors of Election shall attend on the first Monday
in May 1942, and on the first Monday in May in each and
every second year thereafter, and at such other times as spe-
cial elections for any purpose may be called under this Act,
or under any other Act of Assembly, at the place where such
elections are to be held in accordance with the notice thereof
posted as aforesaid, and after each taking the constitutional
oath of office before some person duly qualified to administer
oaths, they shall proceed between the hours of 7 o'clock A. M.
and 7 o'clock P. M. on such date to receive the votes of those
persons whose names shall be found upon the registration
books who shall then and there present themselves for the pur*
pose of voting.
