VOTING HOURS HAVE.
BEEN SHORTENED
City Polls Open at $3.50 In
stead of 600 A. NJ; Close
at 500 Instead of 900
TOWNS 9 A. M; 6 P. M.
Primary Election for State
and County Officers June
16-City Polling Places

For many years there has been
considerable criticism of the time
polls have been kept open at Prin-
airy and State elections.
In many of the States the polls
are kept open only from 900 a. m.
to 800 p. m.
Prior to about thirty years ago
those were ethe hours in vogue in
this state. The law was changed
to 600 a. M, until 900 p. M, prim-
arily to give the laborer in the cit
les an opportunity to cast his bal
lot either before he went to work in
the morning or after he returned in
the evening.
At every session of the Mime
sofa Legislature for years bills
have been introduced to amend the
election laws, particularly as to the
hours the polls should be kept open.
The late hour at which the polls
closed made it almost impossible to
get results which showed the trend
of the state politically until nearly
every other state was giving pref
ty strong indication as to what the
voters had accomplished. In many
precincts the judges did not COM
plete counting the ballots until
noon the following day.
At the 1928 session of the Mime
sofa legislature the election laws
of the state were modified slightly.
Chapter 1913, Laws of 1929 pro-
vide for the opening and closing of
the polls at elections as follows:
In townships and villages the
polls will open at 900 a. m. and
will close at 800 p. m.
! In cities the polls will open at
$50 a. m. and close at 800 p. m.
Sank Centre will be governed by
the latter provision, $50 a. m. to
800 p. m.
The voters in the First ward, all
that portion of the city on the
north side of Third street, will cast
their ballots in the southwest room
of the first floor of the Armory,
corner Third and Elm Streets.
The voters of the Second Ward
will cast their ballots in the fire
hall, the first floor of the City Hall,
corner Third and Pine Streets. The
Second Ward is all that portion of
the city on the south side of Third
Street.
The voters of Sank Centre town
ship will cast their ballots on the
second floor of the City Hall.
Exercise your privilege as Ameri-
can citizens and do your duty by
voting at the Primary election
