CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF MARYLAND

PROPOSED CONSTITUTION OF 1968

CONSTITUTION OF 1867


remove the above penalty and all other


penalties upon the vote seller so as to place


the penalties for the purchase of votes on


the vote buyer alone.


Sec* 4. It shall be the duty of the


General Assembly to pass Laws to punish,


with fine and imprisonment, any person,


who shall remove into any election district,


or precinct of any ward of the City of


Baltimore, not for the purpose of acquiring


a bona fide residence therein, but for the


purpose of voting at an approaching elec-


tion, or, who shall vote in any election


district, or ward, in which he does not


reside (except in the case provided for in


this Article), or shall, at the same election,


vote in more than one election district, or


precinct, or shall vote, or offer to vote,


in any name not his own, or in place of


any other person of the same name, or shall


vote in any county in which he does not


reside.


Sec. 5. The General Assembly shall pro-


vide by Law for a uniform Registration of


the names of all the voters in this State,


who possess the qualifications prescribed in


this Article, which Registration shall be


conclusive evidence to the Judges of election


of the right of every person, thus registered,


to vote at any election thereafter held in


this State; but no person shall vote, at any


election, Federal or State, hereafter to be


held in this State, or at any municipal


election in the City of Baltimore, unless his


name appears in the list of registered voters;


the names of all persons shall be added to


the list of qualified voters by the officers of


Registration, who have the qualifications


prescribed in the first section of this Article,


and who are not disqualified under the


provisions of the second and third sections


thereof.


Art. III, sec. 42. The General Assembly


shall pass Laws necessary for the preserva-


tion of the purity of Elections.

ters which relate to the Judges of election,
