Oriuiou On Voting Privileges
Due to the many questions arising
as to who is entitled to vote at the
national election on Tuesday. Mo-
vember 6, Corporation Counsel Will
liam N. DeRosier has filed the fol-
lowing opinion with City Clerk
Thomas B. Steele and copy has
been mailed to the registrars of
voters in each voting district:
II. Can an elector retain his vot-
ing privilege in Bristol. if he has
had residence in another town for
more than six months or in another
state for more than one year, but
has not been made an elector In that
town or state?"
The answer is No"
80. II his name has been retained
on the voting list IN Eristol during
the period of absence, does that af-
feet his elieibili,y?"
The right OF a person to vote
whose name had been retained on
the voting list although he had
been residing in another town for
more than slx months. can be sue
cessfully challenged.
"3. If person has been made an
elector in Bristol. and later has been
made an elector in another town.
must he again be made an elector
before voting in Bristol. or have the,
registrars the authority to repla ce
his name on the voting list?'
! know OF no provision Of law
which authorizes registrars to re-
place on the voting list the name OF
an elector who was formerly an
elector in Bristol. then removed to
another town establishing 4 resi-
dence therein. and then subsequently
returned to Bristol. In my opinion 1t
IL necessary for such a person again
to be made an elector In Bristol be-
fore he can vote here. l UNDER
stand that thie has not been the
practice followed by registrars In the
past. =
-. Where. If at all, must q person
be made an elector II he has been
a resident of another town for about
a year and has returned to Bristol
within the last three weeks?"
The answer to this question ID to
be found In Section 10 OF Chapter
S05 Of the 1921 Public Acts, which
provides:
Every person who has been adj
AAsteNN AhA bV6soNOtNu 40 du CtCNtVE
in any town. and who has removed
to another town in this state. shall
retain his right to vote In state and
national elections In the town from
which he removed for a period of
one day less than six months from
the date of such removal. and during
| such period he shall have a residence
In the town to which he has removed
for the purpose of becoming admit
ted to the privileges OF an elector
therein"
" This provision applies only 10
persons who are already electors
and does not cover the case Of those
who have not been made electors in
any town."
Health Officer silent
II am perfectly satisfied with the
verdict Of the city council" was the
only response which DIR. B. b. Rob-
bins, city health officer. would make
In connection with the statement of
Councilman Homer H. Judd in We'd
nesday's Herald that the health oft.
Ger had agitated the vaccination of
residents of the city during the
smallpox epidemic of last winter for
his own personal gain. Mr.. Judd
yesterday denounced the city council
for passing for payments bills pre-
scented by DIR. Robbins during his
Judd's) absence from the Tuesday
night meeting.
Mr.. Judd. in commenting on the
health officers brief statement. said
that he was disappointed AZ he had
a number of other facts in connec-
ton with the health department
which he felt should be brought to
the public's attention. The attitude
Of DR.. Robbins. however, made such
sctton unnecessary. according to Mr..
Judd. although 1t is probable that =
further discussion will result when
the council holds its next meeting.
