Information Regarding II of Value to Los An
gees Electors
The registration of the voters of this
county is progressing rapidly, over 5000
names being now enrolled out of an es-
timated total of 10000.
Every voter should make it his bus
ness to register at once, so that in case
there should be an error in his affidavit
there will be time to rectify it before
August 10, when the registration closes,
and after which date no names can be
taken, the law requiring the books to be
completed within thirteen days from the
close of registration, after which they
are open to public inspection for forty
six days.
There are many changes in the regis
tration law for this year, the principal
being that the register is to be printed
in precinct form, each precinct by itself,
though all of the precincts may be bound
in one volume if the board of supervis-
erS so decide.
Another change is the educational
qualification, which was carried at the
last general election, which provides that
no person who cannot read the consti-
tuition in English and write his name
shall ever exercise the privilege of an
elector in this state. but eXempts those
who were go years of age and over No
vember 6, 1894, those who were then en-
titled to vote, and those who cannot
comply with 1t on account of physical
disability. Any one who registers and
afterwards moves to another precinct
must be sure to go to the court house
and transfer his registration to the pre-
cinct to which he moves, so that his
name will appear in the proper printed
precinct register; otherwise he will have
trouble in voting at the election. No
transfers can be made later than s-~-.-
ty-seven days before the elect:ol
