A bill now before the Marylnad
Legislature would modify the Elec-
tion Law that requires persons who
come into Maryland from another
State to appear before court OF an
election board and declare their in
tentions of becoming citizens OF the
State at least one year before they
are permitted to vote by providing
an alternative. Under this alterna-
tive, a person who has lived in the
State year would be permitted to
register upon making an affidavit to
that effect before the election board
in his precinct. Under the present
law person who has lived here for
ten or more years may not legally,
vote unless he has made the declar-
alton. The protest against the
present law has been widespread
but 1t is doubtful whether the law
will be amended.
Under the declaration Of intention
act, persons not born in Maryland or
who did not move into the State be-
fore reaching their majority. cannot
register and vote until one year after
they have appeared before.a board of
registrars in the counties or the

Court to declare their intentions of

the State are subject to the above
provisions on their return. unless
before leaving they have appeared
