QUALIFICATIONS OF ELECTORS.
Every elector must be twenty -one
years of age, or over, a citizen of the
United States, either by birth or ma
turalization; a resident of the state
for one year prior to the General Elec-
ton, and resident of the county and
precinct for thirty days; must be able
to read the Constitution Of the United
States, in the English languarge, and
be able to write his or her name un-
less physically unable to do so. Idiots,
insane persons, and persons non COM
pos mentis or under guardianship,
persons convicted or treason or felony
shall not be qualified to register.
NATURALIZATION:
If elector is naturalized citizen
he must present his second or final
papers to the registration officer,
else he cannot be registered. If, how
ever, such papers are lost or destroy
ed, the elector will be permitted to
register upon executing and filing
with the registering officer an affi-
davit giving the time, place and count
of issuance of such papers, and the
fact of their loss or destruction and
circumstances connected Herewith.
The above applies to women as well
as to men, except that women of for
eign birth become naturaliized citi-
zens upon their marriage to citizens OF
the United States either by birth or
by naturalization, or if already mar
ried, the naturalization Of the husband
carries with it citizenship of the wife.
On the other hand when a woman who
is citizen of the United States, eth
er by birth or naturalization, marries
an alien, her citizenship ceases with
such marriage. In short, the citizen
ship of the wife is that of the hus-
band.
WHERE REGISTERED:
Electors must register in the pre-
cinct where they reside, to enable
them to vote at any primary or gen.
eral election. The law by which per-
son, if not on the register could vote
at the polls, has been omitted from
the code, now in force, and in order
to vote at any primary or general
or special election, the electors name
MUST appear on the register of the
precinct wherein he or she resides.
REGISTRATION-BLANK AS:
The registration officer shall, when
registering an elector, execute Blank
A in duplicate. The duplicate to be
issued to the elector and the original
mailed to the County Recorder. The
elector must appear IN person and the
registration officer MUST witness the
signature. The registration officer
will PRINT the name of the elector on
the bottom of the BLANK A. This is
necessary as some signatures are il
legible and as the names must be
copied in this office we must depend
upon the registration officer to help
in this matter. DO NOT OVERLOOK
THIS. See that all blank spaces are
properly filled out.
CANCELLATION-BLANK BIS:
If, after registering, the elector
moves to another county or precinct, |
he or she must cancel such first reg
istration by signing Blank B, which
will issue in duplicate, the duplicate to
be delivered to the elector and the
original returned to office of the
County Recorder, and then re-regis-
ter such elector in the precinct where
he or she resides. A person must not
register more than once, without first
cancelling any prior registration. To
register more than once or to know
ingly register in any precinct where
he is not resident at the time OF
is criminal offense and
subjects the offender to fine in a sum,
not to exceed two thousand dollars or
to Imprisonment not to exceed three
years, or both. EVERYBODY MUST
THIS YEAR if they wish
to vote at the primary election on
September 9th, or at the general cleo,
ton on November 4th, 1924, or any
other election that may be held with
in the next two years. No registra-
tion of former years will suffice.
This office will make every reason
able effort to properly register all
