Because he expects to leave for

made inquiries at the county auditors
office about the absent voters law. in
order that me might cast his vote at
the November election. The inquiry
developed puzzle not only to County
Auditor McLeland but to the office of
the attorney general as>well.
The new Iowa absent voters law
permits a voter who may be away
from his legal voting place on election
day to cast his vote by mail. This
would be all right in November were IL
not for the fact that in presidential
years a new registration becomes
necessary The election laws OF this
state require that the voter register by
applying in person before the registry
board of his precinct. The absent
voters law says that all duly regis
tered voters may vote as absent voters.
However, if the voter must register in
person. and Is unable to register be-
fore becoming an absent voter. he
would not be entitled to vote away
from home without being registered.
