(b)    It shall be the duty of the Board of Registration to prescribe the

quired for the permanent registration of voters as herein provided; and to

general, special, or primary election; and space shall be provided for such
recording for a period of not less than twelve years. The fact of voting
shall be indicated by writing the letter "V" in the proper space. Provisions
shall also be made on such cards or loose-leaf pages for showing sub-
sequent changes of address or party affiliation.

Time of Registration:

(c)    The Board of Registration may prescribe the hours during which
its office at the City Hall shall be open for registration; but unless the said
Board by unanimous vote decides otherwise, the office shall be open for
such purpose on the fourth Saturday of each month before the Clerk of
said Board or any member thereof between the hours of 9 o'clock, A.M.,
and 12 o'clock, noon, beginning on the first fourth Saturday of the month
following the effective date of this Charter Amendment.

the duty of the Board of Registration, unless cause to the contrary be
shown, to cause the registration of such voter to be cancelled by removing
the registration card or forms of said voter from the original and duplicate
files and placing the same in a transfer file; provided, however, before such
cancellation, notice shall be mailed to such voter addressed to the address
given in the registration of such voter, notifying such voter to appear
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 such notice, and to
show cause why his or her name should not be cancelled as a voter. A
voter whose registration has been cancelled under this subsection shall not
thereafter be eligible to vote except by registering again as in this Charter
Resolution provided.
