LAUREL                                                 2293

[(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 of
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 general 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 approval by the Mayor and
City Council, to employ such clerical assistance and to purchase such supplies as
may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.

[(g)] (J) Cancellation of registration. Whenever the death or conviction 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 notification 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 knowledge of the death of any such registered voter and file with their
registration records a sworn statement to that effect, it shall not be necessary so to
mail such notice to the address of said voter and his registration may be forthwith
cancelled as hereinafter provided. If no cause or insufficient cause shall be shown,
the registration of such voter shall be cancelled by removing the registration cards
or looseleaf pages of said voter from the original files and placing the same in a
transfer file, along with said sworn statement where used.

[(h)] (K) Same; failure to vote. If a registered voter in said city has not voted
at least once at a general or special election within the five preceding calendar
years, it shall be the duty of the Board of Election Supervisors to cause the
registration of such voter to be cancelled by removing the registration cards or
looseleaf pages of said voter from the original files and placing the same in a
transfer file; a notice of such action and the reason therefor shall be sent to the last
known address of such voter; provided, however, that the registration of no person
shall be so cancelled during his service in the Armed Forces of the United States.

[(i)] (L) Reregistration after cancellation. A voter whose registration has been
cancelled under any of the preceding sections shall not thereafter be eligible to vote
except by lawfully registering again.

[(j)] (M) Extra registration places. In case of the designation of more than one
polling place as hereinbefore provided, then and in that event, the members of the
Board of Election Supervisors appointed for each polling place shall sit separately
as Boards of Registration at places to be designated by the Mayor and City
Council and registration books shall be kept for each polling place separately
and any action taken with respect to any name on said registration books, or to
