It details oath taking, entries, qualification checks, alphabetic registries, and cross checking with prior rolls in Baltimore and counties, plus 1914 county recertification and biennial Baltimore updates with clerks overseeing transcription and disputes.
The certificate is granted by the Board of Registry when in session under regulations that if at the time of application the voter's name is erased from the registers it shall be their duty to proceed.
The text outlines removal certificates for voters and strict registry procedures. It details how to apply, swear an oath, and have the removal recorded.
