If in any such consolidated law and such amendments to the code of civil procedure and the code of criminal procedure as enacted by the legislature of nineteen hundred and nine of said act amendatory thereof there shall have been incorporated any provisions of the law that have heretofore been superseded or impliedly repealed, the incorporation of any such provisions shall not be construed as a legislative intent to revive such superseded or repealed provisions, nor shall such incorporation in such consolidated laws be construed to indicate any legislative determination that such provisions had not been heretofore so superseded or repealed. The true purpose and intent of this act is to prescribe that the statute law of the state, so far as it has been reproduced in such consolidated laws and in such amendments to the sode of civil procedure and the code of criminal procedure, and in said chapter two hundred and forty of the laws of nineteen hundred and nine, and all special laws in force at the time of the enactment of such consolidated laws, shall be of the same force and effect as they were before the enactment of such consolidated laws or code amendments or said act amendatory thereof. 516 NOTE Inasmuch as the Board of Statutory Consolidation in the preparation of the Election Law has followed as far as possible the chronological order of the election process, beginning with the primaries and enrollment in parties, continuing through registration for elections, the proceedings in preparation for and upon Election Day, the proceedings of the Boards of Canvassers, etc., it has been deemed advantageous to arrange these forms likewise as far as possible in the chronological order.
