3804 ARTICLE 17.

(E) Said Board shall, on the first Monday in April, if not a legal
holiday, and if a legal holiday then on the day following, and also on the
second Monday in April, if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday then
on the day following, conduct a registration of the qualified voters of said
town.

(F) Said registration shall be conducted on the two days named be-
tween the hours of 7 o'clock P. 31 and 9 o'clock P. M. at the regular
meeting place of The Cottage City Commission unless said Commission
shall, by resolution entered in the minute books of said Commission, ap-
point a different place...

(G) The said Board of Election Supervisors shall, at least one week
before the first registration day, post in a public place in each ward and
also at the regular meeting place of The Cottage City Commission, a notice
of such registration, which said notice shall state the place where such
registration shall be conducted.

(H) All citizens of the United States who have attained the age of
twenty-one and who have been bona fide residents of said town for at
least three (3) months prior to their registration, shall be eligible to

register, and after registering, shall be eligible to vote at all town elec-
tions so long as they remain bona fide residents of said town. Provided,
however, that nothing contained in this paragraph shall apply to the

election provided for in Section 12* of this Act to determine whether or
not this charter shall be adopted.

(I) Said Board of Election Supervisors shall determine the qualifica-
tions and right of each applicant to register by asking such applicant the
following questions which shall be answered under oath by such applicant:
(1) Are you a citizen of the United States? (2) Have you attained the
age of twenty-one years? (3) Have you been a bona fide resident of the
Town of Cottage City for at least three months ? Should the answers of
such applicant be in the affirmative to each such questions, it shall be the
duty of said Board to allow such applicant to register. But should such
applicant refuse to answer all such questions or should the answer of such
applicant be in the negative to any such question, then such applicant shall
not be allowed to register. Should any applicant answer any such ques-
tion falsely he shall be guilty of the crime of perjury and subject to the
penalties provided by the law of the State of Maryland. Any applicant
who feels that he has been aggrieved by any rulings of said Board as to
his eligibility to register may appeal to the Circuit Court for Prince
George's County which court shall determine such appeal.

(J) It shall be the duty of said Board of Election Supervisors to make
a record of all applicants who present themselves to register, and a record
of all persons who have registered, and a record of the reasons why such
applicant has not been allowed to register, which said records shall be
signed by each member of said Board and sworn to before the Secretary
Commissioner or before a justice of the peace or other officer or person

*Sec. 12, ch. 390, 1924, related to special election at which this charter was
adopted.
