which are provided in Section 38 (a) of this Article, rather than the

board of supervisors of elections may constitute the board of registry
for the purposes of this section. Notice of such additional days and
places of registration shall be given as hereinbefore provided in
Section 12 of this Article; provided, however, that when a regular
schedule for such additional days and places of registration is so
authorized, such notice need be given with respect to such schedule
and not as to the several days and places for such additional regis-
tration.
