The applicant for registration must be a citizen of the State and of the
United States, and must be a resident of a county or parish included in
the election district. He may be registered if he has been such citizen
for a period less than twelve months at the time he applies for
registration, but he can not vote at any election unless his citizenship
has then extended to the full term of one year. As to such a person, the
exact length of his citizenship should be noted opposite his name on the
list, so that it may appear on the day of election, upon reference to
the list, whether the full term has then been accomplished.
Concurred in unanimously.
4. An unnaturalized person can not take this oath, but an alien who has
been naturalized can take it, and no other proof of naturalization can
be required from him.
