IMPORTANT FEAT.
URES OF NEW REG.
ISTRAT|ON ACT
Every Voter in Kentucky, Of Every
Party, Must Register at
the States General
Registration.

1t must be remembered that voters
cannot register by mail. They must
apply in person and in the precinct in
which they are legal voters.
Each voter will be called upon to
state his or her political affiliation.
This may be given as Republican"
Democrat" Independent" Socialist"
"Prohibitionist" and so on.
Tho penalties for fraud, illegal reg
istration and interfering with regis
.tration are rather severe. If anyone
disturbe or hinders the registration,
he is guilty Of misdemeanor and may
be fined as much as One Hundred dol
lars. A registration officer who fails
to do his duty may be fined the same
amount. Altering or destroying a reg
istration book is a felony and may be
punished by confinement in the peni-
tentiary from one to five years. Any
one who breaks up or attempts to
break up registration may be- fined
from one hundred to five hundred I'd
lars and imprisoned in the county jaif
from six to twelve months.
When the registration is finished,
the registratio.. books are to be taken
TO the county clerks Office. The law
does not say which officer or officers
shall do this. It would be proper for
1t least two of the officers. one from
Zach political party to go with the
books to the clerks Office, as Is done
IN case Of elections.
The registration officers must be
sworn before beginning their work.
They can be sworn before any officer
authorized to administer en- oath. II
it is not convenient to go before an
officer, the registration clerk is au-
thorized to swear the other three Off
GERS and then one of the judges can
administer the oath to the clerk.
Persons who cannot read or write
are entitled to be registered. If the
voter can write his own name in the
registration book he is required to do
SO. If he cannot write his name he
should state that fact on oath to the
registration officer and then the clerk
will sign the voters name for him.
