ment Volume and 1967 Supplement), title "Election Code", sub-
title "Registration of Voters—How and by Whom Conducted",

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 3-20 of Article 33 of the Annotated Code of Mary-
land (1967 Replacement Volume and 1967 Supplement), title "Elec-
tion Code", subtitle "Registration of Voters—How and by Whom

general or special election within the five preceding calendar years,

before such board at a date specified in such notice, not earlier than
one week or later than two weeks from the date of mailing of such
notice, and to show cause why his name should not be removed
from the registry, (b) A voter whose registration has been can-
celled under this section shall not thereafter be eligible to vote
except by registering again as in this article provided, (c) The
notice to be sent to persons who have not voted at least once at a
primary, general or special election within the five preceding calen-
dar years, as prescribed in subsection (a) of this section, shall be
in substantially the following form:
