make the third sentence say what it means, and “ or" made "nor." "The first column in said book" made "books."

The law as it stands requires the highest number of unused blanks to be handed to a voter requiring a second set. The purpose of the provision and the actual practice require the lowest. The word is accordingly changed.

§ 9. Delivery of enrollment blanks to voters on election day where registration is not personal.

When, in any town or village in which personal registration is not required, or in an election district a part of which comprises territory in which such personal registration is not required, a registered voter whose registration was not personal nor required to be personal, and who was not enrolled on a day of registration, shall present himself to the board of election inspectors in an election district at a general election for the purpose of receiving an official ballot to be voted thereat, and after he shall have voted, a member of such board, of opposite political faith from the chairman, to be designated by the chairman, shall forthwith, and before such voter leaves the polling place, enter his enrollment number, beginning with the lowest enrollment number then unused, and so on in numerical order, opposite his name in the appropriate columns of two registers, and shall write his name on the enrollment blank having the enrollment number which shall be opposite his name on such registers, shall fill in the other blank spaces on such enrollment blank, and shall deliver to him an enrollment blank having his name on it the poll clerks shall also enter in the column therefor in their registers the number on the enrollment blank. No voter shall be given more than two blanks in any event, nor more than one blank unless he shall spoil, deface, improperly mark, or otherwise destroy the first blank given him. In case a second blank is given him, such member of the board shall draw a line through such voter's previous enrollment number in such registers and shall insert in the same columns, opposite the name of the voter, the number which shall be upon the new set to be given him, which number shall also be the lowest number on the enrollment blanks then unused in such election district. Enrollment blanks shall be numbered consecutively, beginning with the one succeeding the last number used on the last preceding day of registration.

§ 10. Enrollment by voters.

Such voter desiring to enroll shall then enter a voting booth in said place of registration or polling place, and, after having closed the door thereof, may make a cross X mark with a pencil having black lead in the circle underneath the emblem of the party of his selection and thereupon fold said enrollment blank so as to conceal the face thereof, and, before leaving the place of registration or polling place, shall forthwith deposit the same, as so folded, in the enrollment box in said place of registration or polling place in the presence of the inspectors of election, without in any way indicating the party with which he has or has not enrolled. If a voter declines to enroll, he may return the blank to the inspector in charge of the enrollment box, and the inspector in charge of enrollment shall endorse the name of such voter thereon and deposit the same in the enrollment box, and shall enter opposite his name in the space reserved for the name of a political party, the word "no." One mark crossing any other mark at any angle within the circle shall be deemed a cross mark within the meaning of this article.

§ 13. Certification of registers, with respect to enrollment occurring on the day of general election.

At the close of the day of general election or on the following day in each year, in an election district in which the enrollment of any voters is permitted under this article on the day of such election, the board of election inspectors shall severally subscribe and verify four declarations one of which shall be printed on and attached to each of the original registers. Such declarations shall be to the effect that the persons having enrollment numbers, as shown by the two copies of the register used for enrollments, whose number is higher than the last enrollment number used on the last preceding day of registration, constitute all of the persons voting in that district at such general election whose registration was

not personal and who had not, after such registration, applied for enrollment on a day of registration.

§ 14. Opening of enrollment box and completion of enrollment. It shall be the duty of the chairman of the board of inspectors of each election district, on the first day of registration, to appoint one of the inspectors of opposite political faith to be the custodian of the enrollment box. In election districts where personal registration is required, the box shall be returned to the custodian of primary records immediately after the last day of registration. In districts where personal registration is not required the box shall be returned to the custodian of primary records within twenty-four hours after the close of the polls on general election day, by the inspector designated to deliver the returns. All enrollment blanks contained therein shall remain in such box, and the said box shall not be opened nor shall any of the blanks be removed therefrom until the Tuesday following the day of general election in that year. Such box shall then be opened by the custodian of primary records, and the blanks contained therein shall be removed thereupon by said custodian, and the name of the party designated by each voter under such declaration shall be by said custodian entered against the name of such voter in the appropriate column of the signature copy of the register in a city having more than one million inhabitants, and of the two copies of the registers used for party enrollment elsewhere, for the election district in which such voter resides. Such enrollment shall be completed before the succeeding fifteenth day of February in each year. If cross marks are found in more than one of the circles, or if no cross marks are found in any of the circles of any enrollment blank, the voter who used the enrollment blank thus deficient shall not be deemed to be enrolled, and words indicating the reason why such enrollment is not transcribed. shall be entered against the name of such voter in the signature copy of the register in the column reserved for the entry of party enrollments, in any city of over one million inhabitants, and elsewhere in such column in each of the two registers used for party enrollment. When all of the enrollment shall be transcribed

from the blanks to the register, the custodian of primary records shall subscribe and verify a declaration or identical declarations, one of which shall be printed in or attached to each of the said registers, which declaration shall be to the effect that he has correctly and properly transcribed the enrollment indicated on the blank of each voter to the said register, as herein provided.

§ 14-a. Correction of enrollment lists.

Any voter who has been or shall have been enrolled with the same political party for five years or upwards and who, at the time of marking an enrollment blank on any day provided in this chapter for the enrollment of voters, makes a mark in the circle beneath the emblem of a party other than the one with which he desired or intended to enroll, by inadvertence, may at any time after the completion of the enrollment in any year as provided in this chapter and prior to the ensuing first day of July, have his party affiliation changed upon the enrollment list by the custodian of primary records with whom such list is filed by striking out the name of the party with which he is thus wrongly described as being affiliated and inserting the name of the party with which he may declare that he is affiliated by making, subscribing and acknowledging before any officer authorized by law to take the acknowledgment of deeds for record in this state, and filing or causing to be filed with such custodian of primary records, a statement embodying a declaration in substantially the following form: "I,
