     personally before the commissioners, be registered as of the
     district wherein he or she shall have resided prior to entering
     such service. In such case a residence by street and number
     shall not be required, but the person shall be registered as of
     the proper district. In the case of persons employed by this
     Commonwealth, no such petition shall be considered unless it be
     accompanied by a certificate from the Auditor General, under the
     seal of his office, setting forth that the proper person, or the

     she shall produce to the registration commissioners satisfactory
     proof that he or she is, by payment of taxes and otherwise,
     entitled to registration. When any such person so registered
     shall vote, he or she shall be required, by the proper election
     officers, to sign the ballot check list of the proper district.
