income must also proceed from such sources, as to justify its being considered annual
or likely to amount to about the same every year.

 23. After the chairman has obtained, during the month of January, such
further elucidations as may be requisite to decide whether the parties named possess
the right of voting, the elective board shall meet in the first days of February, and must
within 8 days frame the election-list. The election-list shall contain several columns
furnishing statements of the full names of the individuals, their age, vocation, whether
they are natives or have resided in the Danish West India Islands for 5 years, the
period of their sojourn within the municipality and in the elective district, and whether
they own a property calculated to yield the stipulated amount of yearly rent, or if they
have the requisite amount of yearly income. The names of those individuals by whom
the qualifications as regards age, residence in the Islands or in the elective district, are
not yet attained, but who are expected to attain them in the course of the year for which
the list is drawn up, are to be stated in a supplemental list, with an express statement
of the date when the qualifications will be attained.

 24. The election-list thus framed must be exhibited at the court-house of
 each respective district from the 15th to the 28th of February, both days inclusive, for
 general inspection 6 hours each week-day. The time when as well as the place where
 the list is to be exhibited must be promulgated or made known in the manner
 customary for public notices, at least 3 days previously.

 25. Any person who thinks that his name has been wrongfully omitted in the
 election-list or who finds that the name of another person is on the list who does not
 possess the qualifications that entitle him to vote, has within 3 days previous to the
 expiration of the time, during which the list is exhibited for inspection, to make a
 request in writing to the chairman of the elective board to have his name placed on the
 list, or demanding that the name of the other person erroneously entered on the list be
 struck out, giving a brief statement of the reasons on which he bases the request. The
 objections thus made against the list are to be decided by the elective board at a
 public meeting which is to be held in the course of the next 14 days, after the chairman
 has obtained in the promptest and simplest manner the necessary elucidations for
 deciding the objections. To this meeting must be summoned the person by whom the
 objections have been made as well as the one to whom such objections refer, and to
 whom the chairman must send a copy of the written request. According to the
 documents produced by the parties and the depositions of the witnesses brought
 forward, together with the elucidations obtained by the chairman, the questions
 mooted are to be decided, and a brief award to be entered in the election protocol. The
 list after having been thus corrected, must be signed by the whole elective board.

 26. Whoever is dissatisfied with the decision of the elective board by which
 the right of voting is denied him, can demand a copy of the award without fees and
 may bring the matter before the courts for judgement. Such suits are at once to be
 prosecuted in the West India upper court, and the parties are exempt from all fees in
 this court as well as in the lower courts, when affidavits or evidence are taken in these
