The Primary Law.

Deputy Attorney General Sanford
l.. Fogg in an opinion rendered
Thursday at the request of Secretary
of State Frank w. Ball in relation to
the act passed at the last session of
the legislature amending the
primary law, especially referring to
the manner and time of making en-
rollment and the duties of boards
of registration, declared that the
law does not specify in what manner
the voter shall file his declaration.
He says:
"The law says in effect that the
voter may enroll himself by filing
with the board of registration a dec
laration in writing signed by him. 1t
is my opinion that it is not necessary
for the voter to appear before the
board of registration in order to file
his enrolment. He may cause his
declaration to be delivered to the
board by mail or otherwise and
when the same is received, 1T be-
comes the duty of the board to en-
ter his name on the enrolment list,
according to his party designation.
This applies not only to voters who
are enrolling for the first time in the
precinct or municipality, but also to
the voter already enrolled who de-
sires to make a new enrolment.
"In case of the voter changing his
previous enrolment, by making
new one, he will not be allowed to
vote at any primary election within
the next six months following the en-
rollment.
ct it evident that person who is
a legal voter may enroll himself as
a member of any political party by
filing with the board of registration
at any time before the day of a pri-
mary election, the declaration.
Voters entitled to enrolment may
also be enrolled during the primary
election after subscribing and max
ing oath before a registration board
to the statement as required by law.
A suitable number of such statements
shall be furnished at each voting
place by the city, town or plantation.
'Tn order to avoid possible con-
fusion and delay at the polls, 1T is
advisable for those voters who can
conveniently do SO, to make their
enrolment prior to election day..
