 Owing to the registration for the City Election now being conducted in the City of Clifton, a great deal of confusion has been raised in the minds of the electors, that such regis tration was sufficient for the county election in November. I wish, there fore, to take this opportunity of ad- vising the electors of the County of Greenlee, and particularly those of the City of Clifton, that it will be neces- sary for each of them to, register with the County Recorder, or his deputies, to enable them to vote in the election this fall. Arrangements will be made in each precinct for the registra- tion of all voters, who may present themselves to the respective deputies, and be registered.
 For the information of the electors of the County of Greenlee, I submit, below, the qualifications of electors, as appears in the Code now in force: The elector must be twen- ty-one years of age, or over; a citizen of the United States, either by birth or naturalization; a resident of Ari- zona for one year prior to election, and of the county and precinct for thirty days; must be able to read the Constitution of the United States in the English language, and write his or her name, unless physically unable to do so.
 If elector is a naturalized citizen, or if naturalized by his fathers papers, he must present his or his fathers second or final papers to the registra- tion officer, else he cannot be register ed. If, however, such papers are lost or destroyed, the elector will be permitted to register upon executing and filing with the registering officer an affidavit, giving the time, place and court of issuance of such papers and the fact of their loss or deStruc-
 
 herewith.
 The above applies to women as well ias men, except that women of foreign birth become naturalized citizens up-
 on their marriage to citizens of the
 United States, whose citizenship is either by virtue of their birth or natur- alization; or if said women are al, ready married, the naturalization of the husband carries with it the citizen ship of the wife.
 In addition to the foregoing, it is required that each person who pre-
 sents himself to register, shall desig- nate his or her party affiliations, in
 order that same may be placed upon
 the registering blank by the registra- ton officer.
 A person must register in the pre- lcinct where he or she resides, or hold a certificate of registration to enable him or her to vote at any primary or election. The law, by which a per son, if not on the register, could register at the polls, has been omit ted from the code now in force, and now, in order to vote at any primary or election, the electors name must appear on the register of the precinct wherein he or she resides If, after registering, the elector moves to an other precinct of county, he or she must cancel his or her first registra- tion, and then re-register in the pre- cinct or county where he or she then resides. person must not register more than once, without first cancell- ing his or her prior registration. To register more than once is criminal offense and subjects the offender to a fine in sum not exceeding one thous- and dollars, Imprisonment not exceed ing five years, or both.
 There is ample time for each cleo
 tor to register, provided that every ielector does not postpone it until the Hast day. In order to facilitate the work in the office, as well as to avoid
 stampede during the closing days of registration, I would request and urge that every elector register as
 soon as possible. RODNEY ELLIS, COunfv Recorder
