Dear Sir: l am in receipt OF
vour request for my opinion as to
when the books should close Tor reg
! istration. the law providing that they
shall remain open until the day before
- urinary election and shall close 10
DAYS before a special election; the
difticult, arises out of the fact that
the city council has called special
alection for the day Of the primaries.
The urinary elections and the spe-
ciaI election concern entirely distinct
and separate matters and the fact
that they take place on the same day
i merely a coincidence.
81 am of the opinion that the BOOKS
sbould remain open until the day be-
fore the primaries and that all per-
sone registering on or prior to the
tenth dav preceding the primary eiec-
ZION shall be entitled to vote at the
