OFFICE OF THE COUNTY
 RECORDER

The election Laws or Arizona i provide for the complete regis
 tration of all electors in the
 State every two years on the i even years. In compliance
 with the requirements of this
 law registration for the Novem-
 Der election will begin at the
 office of the County Recorder
 on the first Monday of May,
 and will continue until ten days i before the county primary cleo
 tion, or until September End, at
 5 o'clock P. M., at which time
 the books will be closed for
 seventeen days, and no regis
 trations will be made until Sep
 tember 18th, at which time the
 books will again be opened and registering continue until Octo-
 Der 18th, when they will be
 closed until the first Monday in
 May, 1924.
 The qualifications of electors
 are as follows: Must be twenty-one years of age or over
 a citizen of the United States,
 either by birth or naturalizat- ion; a resident of Arizona 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 e1ector is naturalized
 citizen he must present his sec ond or final papers to the regis tration officer, else he cannot be registered. If, however, such papers are lost or destroy ed, the elector will be permit ed to register upon executing and filing with the registering officer an affidavit giving the time, place and court of issu- ance of such papers, and the fact of their loss or destruction and circumstances connected herewith.
 The above applies to women as we'll as to men, except that women of foreign birth become naturalized citizens upon Iheir marriage to citizens of the United States either by birth or by naturalization, or if already married, the naturalization of the husband carries with it citizenship of the wife. On the other hand when a woman who is a citizen of the United States, either by birth or nat uralizStlOn, marries an alien, her citizenship ceases with such marriage. In short, the citi- zenship of the wife is that of the husband.
 Electors must register in the precinct where they reside, to enable them to vote at any primary or election. The law by which a person, if not on the register, could register at the polls, has been omitted from the code now in force, and 1 in order Q vote at any primary or election, the electors name MUST appear on the register of the precinct wherein he or she resides. If, after register | ing, the elector moves to an- other precinct or county, he or she must cancel such first regis l tration and then re-register in | the precinct where the elector | then resides. A person must | not register more than once. without first cancelling any prior registration. To fraud register more than once or to knowingly register in any precinct where he is not resi- dent at the time of registering, Is a criminal offense and sub jects the offender to a fine in a sum not exceeding two thous- and dollars, or imprisonment not exceeding three years, or both.
 EVERYBODY MUST REG [STER THIS YEAR if they wish to vote at the primary election on September 18th or at the general election on November 7th, or at any other election that may be held within the next two years. No registra- ton of former years will suffice.
 An amendment to the regis tration laws provides that the eIector when registering shall give his party utilization, or say that he has none, if such is the
