Owing to the registration for the City Election now being conducted in the City of Clifton, 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. 1 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 1t 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 1 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.
 l For the information of the electors of the County of Greenlee, I submit, appended 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 of naturalization; resident of Ari- I zona for one year prior to election, and of the county and precinct for thirty days; must be able to read the ! the English language, and write his or her name, unless physically unable to do so.
 If elector is 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 regis tered. 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- tion and circumstances connected herewith.
 The above applies to women as we'll as men, except that women of foreign birth become naturalized citizens up on the 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 1t the citizen , ship of the wife.
 In addition to the foregoing, 1t 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.
 tion officer.
 A person must register in the pre-
 cinct wehre he or she resides, or hold
 a certificate of registration to enable
 him or her to vote at any binary 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 l appear on the register of the precinct
 wherein he or she resides If, after s 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 of county where he or she theI l. resides. A person must not register
 more than once, without first cancell l, ing his or her prior registration. Tt > register more than once is a crimina offense and subjects the offender to , l. 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 ever. > elector does not postpone it until tn last day. In order to facilitate tn lh' work in the office, as we'll as to avoi' y a stampede during the closing day
 oe registration, I would request an,
 urge that every elector register a
 soon as possible.
