FOR PERSONAL
REGISTRATION
Change in Method of Regis
tering Voters in This City
This Fall.
TUESDAY FOR PRIMARY
Those Who Are Not Regis
tered by Tuesday Night Can
not Vote at Primaries.

Although Perth Amboy would
have had personal registration this
year anyway, having passed 10000
in population, the new Geran law
takes effect this fall and it will be
necessary for every voter who did
not vote at the last general election
to appear before the registration
board on September IL in person,
and register for primary and election
day, or place their names before the
board by affidavit for registration for
primary day.
If any voter, who did not vote last
year, fails to register in person, or
by affidavit, Tuesday, he will be un-
able to vote at the primaries this fall.
The new law, which requires regis
tration In person or by affidavit, has
brought down the wrath of the poll
teal leaders and every effort is being
made to impress upon the voters the
need Of registering on September IL.
The fight at the primaries In both
parties has caused an unusual inter-
est In the primary election this fall
and committees have been selected
by both organizations to see that
every voter in each district is regis
tered on Tuesday.
The Geran law is not to blame for
personal registration this year as the
old election law made this form OF
registration necessary In all cities OF
over 10000 population and last
years census showed Perth Amboy's
population to be 32,121. Therefore
the new law does not materially af-
feet the registration system in this
city.
Other Places Affected.
But the new law affects New
Brunswick and other large munich
palities in the county. 1t requires
personal registration in all districts
of over 5000 population, but will
not affect the farming sections Of the
state. AS of old, house to house
canvas will be made in districts OF
less than 5000 Inhabitants and NO
registration In person is required.
The last registration day in districts
of this size is October 81.
In this city the dates are some
what different. Aside from Septem
ber 12, when voters are privileged tt
register for primary and genera
elections, the voter may register OF
primary day the general election OF
on October "a. This will be the las
date for registration for the genera
election and personal appearance
will be required as the voter must
sign his name in the poll book.
