"I do solemnly swear that I am twenty one years old and that I
will have resided in the state two years and (this) election
district for one year preceding the ensuing election, and am now
in good faith a resident of the same, and that I am not
disqualified from voting by reason of having been convicted of
any of the crimes mentioned in the constitution of this state as
a disqualification to be an elector, that I will truly answer
_all questions propounded to me concerning my antecedents so far
as they relate to my right to vote_ and also as to _my residence
