The work of transcribing the names of said persons to
the new books shall be done under the supervision and
direction of the said Supervisors of Elections by persons
of intelligence who write a clear legible hand, easy to read,
or in the event that said books are rewritten on a type-
writer, indelible ribbon must be used, and the machines
must be operated by persons who are skilled in the opera-
tion thereof, one-half of whom shall be selected from each
of the two leading political parties of the County. The
persons so selected and compensation they are to receive
must be approved by the County Commissioners of Harford
County, and the work of transcribing said names to the
new books must be completed by January 1, in any year

registration books, who have not voted at least once at a
primary, general or special election in the six calendar
years preceding the recopying of such books, the Super-
visors of Elections shall send them a notice to the address
given on said registration books notifying them that their
names will not appear on the new registration book, and
warning them it will be necessary for them to appear be-
fore the Board of Registry in the precinct in which they
reside on one of the regular registration days and register
in order to be entitled to vote, and the notice so sent by
the Supervisors shall take the place of a transfer in the
event that any such person does not at the time of applying
for registration, live in the precinct in which he or she was
formerly registered; but before sending said notices said
Supervisors of Elections shall publish for three consecutive
weeks in all the newspapers published in Harford County,
proper notice showing the intent and purpose of said
notices.
