 Owing to the registration for the City Election now being conducted In the City of Clifton, great deal oe 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 ads 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 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.
 For the information of the electors of the County of Greenlee, rsubmit, appended below, the qualifications o6 electors, as appears in the Code now in force: The elector must be tweu- ty-one years of age, or over; citizen of the United States, either by birth of naturalization; a 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 a naturalized citizen, or if naturalized by his fathers papers. he must present his or his fathers 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 l herewith.
 The above applies to women as well 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 1 alization: or if said women are al- ready married, the naturalization of the husband carries with it the citizen. ship of the wife. ... rnN q. In addition to the foregoing, it fs l required. that each, person who pre- sents himself to register. shall desfg- nate his or her party affiliations, in | order that same may be, placed upon the registering blank by the registra- | ticn officer. s.,., ,,-o-., rts4
 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. soli. if not on the register, could register at the polls, has been omit I 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 cancel. ing his or her prior registration. To register more than once is criminal offense and subjects the offender to a fine in a 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 it until the last day. In order to facilitate the work in the office, as well as to avoid a stampede during the closing days oe registration, I would request and urge that every elector register as soon as possible.
