 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 tratfon 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 deputies. to enable them to vote in the election this fall. Arrangements will be made in each precinct for the registra- tfon of all voters, who may present themselves to the respective deputies, and De registered. Gf For the information of the electors of the County of Greenlee, submit, appended below, the qualifications Of electors, as appears fin the Code now in force: The elector must be twen- ty-one years of age, or over; citizen of the United States, either by birth of naturalization; a resident of Art- 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 naturalfzed citizen, or if naturalized by his fathers papers. he musttpresent his or his fathers second or final papers to the registrar tfon 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- l ton and circumstances connected | herewith. The above applies to women as we'll as men, except that women of foreign | birth become naturalfzed citizens up on the marriage to citizens of the United States, whose citizenship is either by virtue of their birth or natur aliza tion; or if said women are al- ready married, the naturalization. of the husband carries with it the citizen
 ship of the wife.
 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- ticn officer.
 l 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 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- | IiOu, anu IuSu Tc-TcSlSlcT III tuc UT6-
 cinct of county where he or she then
 resides. A person must not register
 more than once, without first cance1l-
 ing his or her prior registration. To
 register more than once is criminal , offense and subjects the offender to a
 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 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 O. registration, I would requeSf and
 urge that every elector register as
 soon as possible. 4 RODNEY ELLIS County Recorder 3-12-4tc
