 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 depnties. 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. of the County of Greenlee, submit, 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- 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 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 arc 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 1 herewith. Y
 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 CT natur alization; or if said women are al- ready married, the naturalization of the husband carries with it the citizen ship of the wife. eN
 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- ] tion officer. 3lf3a4 a1a A person must register in the pre- .cinct wehre he or she resides. or hold certificate of registration to enable him or her to vote at any binary or election. The law. by which 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 of county where he or she then resides. A person must not register
 more than once, without first cancell.
 ing his or her prior registration. To register more than once is a criminal offense and subjects the offender to a | dne 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 elector does not, postpone 1t until the last day. In order to facilitate the work in the office. as we'll as to avoid a stampede during the closing days os registration, I would request and urge that every elector register as soon as possible.
