 said town shall be entitled to vote at such election, without any registra- 

 tion ; and the judges or inspectors of such election shall use the registered 

 list made for the general election in November, A. D. 1868 : and where 

 necessary to do so, said county clerk shall obtain copies of such registry lists of 

 the several towns from which the said added territory is taken, and furnish 

 them in due time at the place or places where the vote of the voters of 

 the said added territory shall be taken : Provided, That whenever any 

 person whose name is not on the registry list shall offer his vote at such 

 election, the judges or inspectors shall require the same evidence of his 

 qualification as now provided by law. The said judges of election shall 

 immediately after the close of the polls, count the ballots, fill out 

 and sign the returns and tally sheets as now provided by law in all other 

 elections, and return the poll books and ballots to the clerk of the county 

 court, as in other cases of election. The votes shall be canvassed in the 

 manner provided by law for the election of state and county officers. The 

 clerk of the county court of Cook county shall, immediately after such 

 canvass, cause a certificate of the result of such election to be filed in the 

 office of the Secretary of State, which shall be conclusive evidence of the 

 result of said election.
