incessant registrations at least, ant
this is important If one may judgt
from the number of complaints heart
In Boise in the past month. Man!
voters who were positive that the.
had voted at the previous election
and that they We're properly register
ed, discovered on going to the polli
that their names were not ON tn,
lists. In some cases 1t is said the,
were even refused the privilege O
swearing in their votes.
All this will be changed under The
new law which will be in effect on
and after May 10. Under this law i
voter registers once he need never
register again until he fails to vote al
some general election. When he *
fails, his name Is Immediately
dropped from the list and to all In
tents and purposes he Is adead mar
until he re-registers.
All registrars are abolished by this
new law. Registrations for all, othel
chan city elections. will be done by
the clerk Of the district court, the
justice of the peace or a notary
public, and these officials win be re
plired to register voters on any bus
mess day of the year up to within sc
days of the election.
ALI registered voters are reported
regularly to the clerk of the district
court That official must make out
lists for each precinct and these lists
must be full and accurate lists of all
he persons entitled to vote In the
respective precincts. Should any
voter die move away or fail to vote,
ais name is dropped from the list,
and to have it reinstated he must re-
gister again. Otherwise he will nev-
er have to bother with registration.
Adequate provisions are made for
securing transfers from one precinct
to another up to the hour OF closing
the polls on the night of election,
This Is also true as 10 swearing In
rots.
In the matter Of city and village
elections the city or village clerk
takes the place of the clerk of the
t court and has charge of the
registration lists. In all other re-
spects the laws applying to registra-
ton for general elections will apply
to city and village elections
These new registration laws will be
in force and effect within 60 days
from the date of their approval by
Governor Haines, or May 10. AT that
time all the old registrars will go out
of office automatically and 1t will be
the duty of the officials named in the
law to look after the registrations. -
