section shall also apply to an election district comprising territory partly within and partly outside of a village in which personal registration is required.

§ 9. Delivery of enrollment blanks to voters where registration is not personal. When, in any town or village in which personal registration by certain of the voters is not required, or in an election district a part of which comprises territory in which such personal registration is not required, a voter who was not registered personally shall present himself to the board of election inspectors in any election district for the purpose of receiving an official ballot to be voted thereat, his name and residence shall be entered at the proper place in the original enrollment books for that district. After he shall have voted, the board of election inspectors, or a member thereof, shall forthwith and before such voter leaves the polling place, write his name on the enrollment blank and envelope having the lowest number of the blanks then unused in such election district, shall fill in the other blank spaces on such enrollment blank and envelope, deliver to him the enrollment envelope and the blank having his name on it, and enter opposite his name in the first column of the registration and enrollment books the number on the blank delivered to him. No voter shall be given more than two sets of blanks and envelopes in any event, nor more than one set, unless he shall spoil, deface, improperly mark, or otherwise destroy the first set given him. In case a second set is given him, the member of the board of election inspectors in charge of the enrollment books shall draw a line through such voter's enrollment number in the first column in said registration and enrollment books, and shall insert in such space in such column 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 inclose said enrollment blank in said envelope and seal the same, and, before leaving the place of registration or polling place,

shall forthwith deposit the same 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, and the inspectors shall thereupon enter in the enrollment books in the fifth column thereof the word "yes." If a voter declines to enroll, he may return the blank and envelope to the inspector in charge of the enrollment box, and such inspector shall seal said envelope with the blank therein, indorse the name of such voter thereon and deposit the same in the enrollment box; and a like entry shall be made opposite his name in the fifth column of the enrollment books. The entries in the enrollment and registration books required by this and the two preceding sections shall be made by a member of the board designated by the chairman.

One mark crossing any other mark at any angle within the circle shall be deemed a cross mark within the meaning of this article.

§ 11. Examination, sealing and custody of enrollment boxes. Before the entry of any enrollment number or the delivery of an enrollment blank and envelope to any voter, in any year, the said enrollment box shall be examined by the board of election inspectors and when empty shall be locked and sealed by them in such a manner that should it be opened such seal would be broken; and the same shall remain so locked and sealed until the same shall be opened by the custodian of primary records as hereinafter provided. Said boxes shall be in the charge and keeping of the custodian of primary records at all times except during hours of enrollment.

§ 12. Certification and secrecy of enrollment where registration is personal. At the close of the last meeting for registration in each year the board of election inspectors shall severally subscribe and verify duplicate declarations, one of which shall be printed in or attached to each of the original enrollment books. Such declarations shall be to the effect that the persons shown by such enrollment books are the only persons who registered personally as voters in that district on any of said days of registration and shall set forth the number of the last enrollment blank used on such last day of registration. Immediately upon the close of each day of registration, and before leaving the meeting place, the board of election inspectors

shall publicly inclose the said enrollment books, together with all records pertaining thereto, in a sealed envelope, upon which shall be written or printed in distinct characters the number of the election district. Such envelope shall remain in the custody of the chairman of the board until the meeting on the next day of registration, when it shall be publicly opened. The envelope sealed at the close of the last day of registration shall, within twentyfour hours thereafter, be delivered to the custodian of primary records. Such envelope shall remain sealed until the next Tuesday following the next ensuing day of general election, except that in any election district in which personal registration as to certain of the voters is not required or comprising territory in which such personal registration is not required such envelope shall be returned to the board of inspectors before the opening of the polls on the day of general election, to be by them opened and used and again delivered to the custodian of primary records as prescribed in section thirteen. No member of the board of election inspectors shall make, or allow to be made, a copy of, or a transcript or statement from, the enrollment books. No person shall, on any of such days of registration or in the interval between any such day and the next ensuing day of general election, reveal or disclose the names or number of the enrolled voters, or make, publish or circulate a list of such names, or of any thereof, or do or permit any act by which the name of any voter who may or may not have enrolled, or the number of voters enrolled or not enrolled, shall be disclosed.

§ 13. Certification and secrecy of enrollment where registration is not personal. At the close of the day of general election or on the following day in each year the board of election inspectors, where personal registration as to certain voters is not required, shall severally subscribe and verify duplicate declarations, one of which shall be printed on and attached to each of the original enrollment books. Such declarations shall be to the effect that the persons shown by such enrollment books whose enrollment number is higher than the last number used on the last preceding day of registration are the only persons who voted in that district on such general election who were not registered personally. They shall inclose such enrollment books, together with all records pertaining thereto, in a sealed envelope, upon which shall be written or printed in distinct char

acters the number of the election district, and shall within fortyeight hours after the close of such general election deliver the same to the custodian of primary records. Such envelope shall remain sealed until the following Tuesday. No member of the board of election inspectors shall make, or allow to be made, a copy of or a transcript or statement from the enrollment books.

§ 14. Opening of enrollment box and completion of enrollment. It shall be the duty of the board of inspectors, or one of them, at the time of the final delivery of enrollment books, to deliver the enrollment box to the custodian of primary records. All enrollment envelopes contained therein shall remain in such box, and the said box shall not* opened nor shall any of the envelopes be opened or 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 envelopes contained therein shall be removed therefrom and opened 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 sixth column of the enrollment books 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, or 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 in said sixth column of the enrollment books against the name of such voter. When all of the enrollments shall be transcribed from the blanks to the enrollment books, the custodian of primary records shall subscribe and verify duplicate declarations, one of which shall be printed in or attached to each of the original enrollment books, 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 enrollment books, 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

*So in original.

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, do solemnly declare that I reside in and am a duly qualified voter of the election district of such city (assembly district, ward or town); that at one of the last preceding days for the enrollment of party voters in such election district I received an enrollment blank and made my mark in a circle under one of the party emblems thereon, but such marking was done inadvertently and indicated my enrollment with a party with which I was not then affiliated and with which I did not intend to enroll; and I therefore request that I be specially enrolled with the ....

party.

I am in general sympathy with the principles of the party. It is my intention to support generally at the next general election the nominees of such party. I have been duly and regularly enrolled with such party for at least five years prior to the enrollment at which such mistake occurred. I have not participated in any primary election or convention of any other party during such period of five years." If any of the enrollment lists for the preceding five years in the office of such custodian of primary records do not contain the name of such applicant, as an enrolled voter of the party named in the statement, the custodian of primary records shall require him to produce a transcript of so much of an enrollment list as relates to him, if any, from the office of the custodian of primary records of the city or county in which he may have been enrolled for such year or years, accompanied with proof by affidavit showing his identity with the person whose name appears in such transcript.

Upon the filing of such statement, and all other papers or certificates if required, the said custodian of primary records, if the records support the truth of the applicant's statement, shall cause
