Qualifications Of Voters.

0uailncatlOne o. vOIoros
Grand Forks Herald: A bill intro
duced by Senator Bacon at the last
session of the legislature b came q
law and is now operative. By its
terms voters will not lose their place
of residence by moving from one ward
to another or from one voting precinct
to another, within the same county.
AS a result it is expected that there
will be more moving this spring than
usual, as the law which required q
residence of three months in a pre-
cinct operated against indiscriminate
moving, especially during campaign
years. The amendment to the cleo
ton law by the Bacon bill provides as
follows:
Every male person of the age of 81
years or upwards, who shall have re-
sided in the state one year, and in the
county six months. and in the precinct
ninety days next preceding any cleo
ton, shall be qualified elector at
such election.
In case voters otherwise qualified
move from one voting precinct to an
other, within the same county, they
shall have right to vote in the pre-
cinct from which they moved until
they have resided ninety days in the
precinct to which they move"
Under the old law a person moving
from one precinct or ward, as the case
might be. within ninety days previous
to an election. would not be entitled
to vote at that election. either at his
old precinct or in the one to which he
moved. An attempt was made to
amend it at the 1901 session., but the
amended act was declared uncoustj-
tutional, and the Bacon bill has cor
rected the injustice.
In the matter of registration, people
who have moved during the ninety
days prior to the coming spring cleo
ton, should renew their registration
in the old precinct should there be
any reason why a new registration
should be made. At the next election
following the spring election register
in your new precinct. 1, The registra-
ton books for the coming spring cleo
ton will be opened at the usual voting
places on March %, official notice Of
which will be given later on. @
