send notices by mail to the last address of such persons as they may agree
are no longer residents of the city, or otherwise disqualified and not en-
titled to be upon the registration books, or to such person or persons against
whom any registered voter of the city may make affidavit to the effect that
they are no longer qualified to vote; such notice shall require such persons
to appear at the second day of registration, at which time they will be given
an opportunity to be heard and on said second day the said members of the
Board of Registration, after hearing the evidence produced before them,
may agree either to strike off or retain such persons upon the said regis-
tration books.

[(e)] (h) Appeals. Any person who shall feel aggrieved at any
action of the Board of Registration in refusing to register him or her,
or in refusing to strike off the books the name of any other person, shall
have the right of appeal to the Circuit Court for Prince George's County
at any time within ten days after the last day of registration, and such
case shall be heard by said Court as provided for by the general election
laws of the State for appeals in election cases, and insofar as the same
may be applicable, the provisions of the general election laws relating to
appeals in election cases generally shall be applied to such appeals.

[(f)] (i) Registration books. The Board of Election Supervisors,
acting as a Board of Registration, is hereby authorized and directed to
rewrite the registration books of the city, and such new registration books
shall consist of cards or looseleaf pages bound in locked binders, and the
Board shall prepare such a card or looseleaf page for each voter registered
upon the present registration books of the city as of January 1, 1958, and
shall place the same in such new registration books as shall be provided
by the Mayor and City Council; and said Board may address such inquiries
to such voters, in such fashion as said Board shall choose, as may enable
said Board to obtain such information as to such voters as will permit said
Board to complete such cards or looseleaf pages, not later than the date
of the supplemental registration and revision of 1958; and said Board
may require such voters to sign such cards or looseleaf pages at any gen-
eral or special election or at such time as may by ordinance or resolution
be prescribed by the Mayor and City Council. Any person now registered
as a qualified voter of the city shall not be required to register again
unless such registration shall be cancelled as herein provided. The names
and existing registry information as to all persons now registered shall
be so transcribed, except those of persons known to the Supervisors to have
died, removed or become disqualified; provided that no living voter's name
shall be stricken from the registration lists unless a notice of such action
and the reason therefor be sent to the last known address of such voter.
The Board of Election Supervisors is hereby authorized, upon prior ap-
proval by the Mayor and City Council, to employ such clerical assistance
and to purchase such supplies as may be necessary to carry out the provi-
sions of this subsection.

[(g)] (j) Cancellation of registration. Whenever the death or con-
viction of infamous crime by any registered voter shall be reported to the
Board of Election Supervisors, the Board shall cause to be mailed to the
address of such voter, as it appears upon the registration records, a notifi-
cation that such death or conviction has been reported to said Board and
requiring the said voter to show cause within two weeks after the mailing
of such notification why his or her registration should not be cancelled;
provided, however, that whenever the said Supervisors have actual knowl-
edge of the death of any such registered voter and file with their registra-
tion records a sworn statement to that effect, it shall not be necessary so
