precinct or district within said city or county, as the case may he,
may he made either by written notice verified by affidavit of the
registrant, sent by mail or by calling in person at the board's office.
Upon receiving such written notice, the board shall cause the sig-
nature to be compared with the original registration records of such
applicant, and if such signature appears to be the same, such change
of residence or affiliation shall be made on the original and duplicate
registration records and the registrant shall be immediately notified
by mail of the change so made. If the board is not satisfied as to
the signature on the written notice or that the change should be made,
notice shall be sent the applicant by mail directing him or her to
appear at the office of the board to answer such questions under oath
as may be deemed necessary. If an applicant so notified fails to
appear at the office of the board as directed, no such entry of change
of residence or affiliation shall be made.

32.  Deceased, Removed and Disqualified Voters. (a) List. It shall
be the duty of each board of registry, after the close of the session
on the Tuesday seven weeks preceding a general election, to note for
erasure from the registry the names of all persons appearing there-

precinct or district, or suspected of being disqualified under Sec-
tions 2 and 3 of Article I of the Constitution of the State. The board
before separating shall prepare a list of all persons so noted for
erasure with the address of each as it appears upon the registers,
under the following headings: "Deceased Voters", "Removed Voters",
and "Disqualified Voters".

(b)  Challenges. The hoard shall treat as persons suspected of
not being qualified voters all persons whose right to be registered
has been challenged by any voter of the county, as hereinafter pro-
vided or against whom a sworn complaint is filed by any voter of
the county which shall be in substance as follows:

"I............................................, a voter of............................county, do

solemnly swear that I believe........................................, who professes

to reside at........................................................, is not a qualified voter

in the....................precinct (or election district) of............................

county on the ground (here state the reasons)".

If a majority of the board are satisfied that any person so
challenged is a qualified voter or that such complaint is untrue, they
need not note such name for erasure unless required by a member
of the board.

(c)  Notice. On the day following preparation of the list of persons
so noted for erasure, it shall be the duty of the member of the board
