VOTING BY THE ABSENT
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
They Can Cast Ballot at
Primaries In June
RULE OF THE STATE BODY
Blanks Will Be Prepared For
The Boys In Camps and
Over There

The Minnesota commission of pub
lie safety, has by order, extended the
provisions of the so-Called absent
voters law, Chapter 6S, laws 1917,
with certain notifications, to the pri !
mary election to be held June II.
1918. Under the terms of the order
any person in the military or naval
service of the United States, who is
absent from his election district on
that day may vote by mail. To do
so, however, the absent voter must
first make an application for ballots
in a form prescribed by said order;
he must also subscribe to the oath
printed on the back of such form and
mail the application and oath to the
county auditor of the county in which
he is entitled to vote. The auditor
will then mail the voter the necessary
ballots to be marked by him, and
the envelopes within which to mail
The same to the election judges, with
to be followed.
Friends and relatives of soldiers
md sailors are requested to procure
and mail the blank applications for
ballots to them When sending a
blank to your boy include several
others, to the end that he may hand
the extra copies to other Minnesota
voters who may not otherwise be
supplied.
When possible, persons sending
these blanks to absent voters should
ascertain and inform the voter the
proper description of the election
precinct in which the voter for whom
it is intended will be entitled to vote.
He may not know or remember the
ward and precinct number in which
he has his residence. This is espe-
cially true as to voters residing in
cities having many election districts.
Attention to this matter on the part
of the folks at home" will greatly
facilitate the work of the county
auditor and insure the proper cast
ing and counting of the absent voters
ballot. Blank applications for bal
lots" may be had without charge by
applying to the county auditor or the
secretary of the Minnesota Commits
sion of Public Safety. 1t is also in
tended to supply them to the banks
and newspapers of the state for free
distribution.
1t is also important that these
blank applications should be gotten
into the hands of the absent voters
at once. The county auditors will
be very busy in getting out election
supplies during the twenty days i'm
mediately preceding June II, and SO
far as the matters above referred to
can be attended to before June 1st
to that extent efficient attention to
/ his duties under the order will be
insured.
