Provided, that any elector who, within three months next preceding the date of the election at which they vote has removed from one precinct or ward to another precinct or ward in the same county, incorporated town, or city, would have the right to vote in the precinct or ward from which they have so removed, if he would have been entitled to vote in such precinct or ward but for such removal.[1]
