REGISTRATION n
I.
OFFICERS ARE
ANNOUNCED

| all electors IN the state every two
| years on the even years. In compli-
ance with the requirements of this
law, registration for the November
election began at the office of the
county recorder on the first Monday
of May, and will continue until ten
days before the county primary cleo
ton, or until August 81, at o'clock
p. M, at which time the books will be
closed for seventeen days, and no reg
istrations will be made until Septem-
Der IS, when the books will again be
open and registering continue until
October Is, when the books will be
closed until the first Monday in May,
1920.
The qualifications of electors are as
follows: Must be 81 years of age or
over; a citizen of the United States,
either by birth or naturalization; resi-
dent of Arizona for one year prior to
election, and of the county and pre-
cinct for thirty days; must be able to
| lCOu CllO COu0IlIuClOn VI CllS OulICu
States in the English language and
write his or her name, unless physi-
cally unable.to do so.
If elector is naturalized citizen, he
must present his second or final pa
pers to the registration officer, else
he cannot be registered. 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 destruction and circumstances
Herewith.
The above applies to women as well
as to men, except that women of
foreign birth become naturalized citi-
zens upon their marriage to citizens
of the United States either by birth
or naturalization, Or if already mar
ried, the naturalization of the hus-
band carries with it citizenship of the
wife. On the other hand when a
women who is citizen of the United
States, either by birth or naturaliza-
ton, marries an alien, her citizenship
ceases with such marriage. In short,
the citizenship of the wife is that of
the husband.
Electors must register in the pre-
cinct in which they reside in order to
enable them to vote at any primary
or general election. The law by which
a person, if not on the register, could
register at the pools, has been omitted
from the code now in force, and in
order to vote at any primary or gen.
eral election, the electors name must
appear on the register of the precinct
wherein he or she resides. If, after
registration, the elector moves, to
another precinct or county, he or she
must cancel such first registration and
then register again in the precinct or
county where the elector then resides.
A person must not register more than
once without first cancelling any
prior registration, To fraudulently
register more than once, or to know
lingly register in any precinct where
the elector is not resident at the
time of registering, is criminal Of
tense and subjects the offender to a
tine in sum not to exceed two thou
sand dollars, or Imprisonment not to
exceed three years, or both. EVERY
BODY MUST REGISTER THIS YEAR
# they wish to vote at the primary
election on September 10th, or at the
general election on November 9Th, OF
at any othe rejection which may be
held within the next two years. No
registration of former years will suf
tice
This office will make reasonable eff
fort to properly register all legal voters
before the primary election. The pub.
tic can aid materially in our work by
registering with some registration of
ficer as soon after the first Monday
in May as possible.
An Amendment to the registration
laws made four years ago, provides
that the elector when registering must
give his party utilization, or say that
he has none, if such is the case. Ac.
cOrding to the decision of the County
Attorney, concurred in by the Attor-
ney General, any elector refusing to
give his party utilization CANNOT
REGISTER. If he has no party affilia-
ton he may so state, but in order to
register, this question in the registra-
ton blank must be answered. This
question of the registering without
giving party utilization does not affect
the elector at the general election, but
it is an important factor in the pri-
mary election for selection of candi-
dates for the general election, for,
unless party utilization is given, the
elector will not be permitted to vote
