19-1619.Copies of register; vote of certain persons not received;
challenges.
After said lists shall have been fully completed, and within three days
of said second meeting of said board, they shall cause four copies of the
same to be made, each of which shall be certified by them to be a correct
list of legal electors of their voting precinct, one of which shall be
within said time filed in the office of the township clerk of the township
in which said precinct is located, and one of which copies shall be
delivered to each of said judges. It shall be the duty of said judges so
receiving such lists to carefully preserve the same for their use on
election day, and to designate one of their number at the opening of the
polls to check the name of every voter voting in such precinct whose name
is on the register. No vote shall be received at any such election, if the
name of the person offering to vote be not on said register as corrected,
unless the person offering to vote shall furnish to the judges of the
election his affidavit, in writing, stating therein that he is an
inhabitant of said precinct, and entitled to vote therein at such election,
and prove by the affidavit of a householder and registered voter of the
precinct in which he offers to vote, that he knows such person to be an
inhabitant of the precinct, giving the residence of such person within said
precinct.
The oath may be administered by any one of the judges of said election
at the poll where the vote shall be offered, or by any other person
authorized to administer oaths; but no person shall be authorized or
allowed to receive compensation for administering said oath. Said oaths
shall be preserved and filed in the office of the township clerk of the
township in which such precinct is situated. Any person, whether his name
shall be on said list of voters or not, may be challenged by the judge or
any legal elector, and the same oaths shall be put as now are or hereafter
may be prescribed by law.
