Disqualifying polygamists as voters and office holders was among the penalties of the law. There are columns in which are recorded the person's name, title of office, precinct, county, and date of commission. The rear of the book also contains a list of certificates of election issued to winners of municipal elections held in 1883. This section has the same categories, with the name of the city appearing in the precinct column. There is a block of entries for commissions and a block for certificates of election.
Entries are primarily chronological then clustered by the type of office and location.
