to vote, may register and vote by
nail in any eectlon or primacyl here

All persons, not already registered,
who may be otherwise quatfled to reg

the Chairman of the County Board of
Elections, at any time other than the
u3uel period provided for registration,
and the said Chairman or tne County*
Board of Elections will enter his
name oh a 'special book provided for
that purpose by the Secretary of
State. The Chaifman of the County
Board of Elections later certifies the
names of persons, so registered before
liim, to the regularly appointed reg
istrars of the various precincts and
