5 CHANGES IN
ELECTION LAWS
Recommended in Report of
Commission Studying Act;
Submitted to Governor
ONE BALLOT URGED

Five major changes in the elec-
ton laws of this state are recon-
mended in the report of the special
bipartisan commission appointed
by Governor Bacon May 8 to study
the act. The commission met in
the office of Howard E. Lynch, a
member, in Dover and after giving
the report final approval submitted
it to Governor Bacon. No recon-
mendation was made whether there
should be a special session of the
Legislature to make the changes in
the law suggested, but the board
offers in its report to prepare any
legislation deemed necessary en-
bodying its recommendations if the
Governor requests it.
Changes Recommended
The most important changes rec
commended are: That registrant
must give his age and the day
month and year of his birth (the
psesent law requires only that a
registrant be 81 years of age OF
over). That registrant give the
place of his birth, including the
city, or township or community
and state, or nation (the law now
asks only '.Nativity"). That a
physical description, which would
include height, weight, race, and
color of eyes and hair be included
One official ballot for each register
ed voter instead of five. Ballots
with perforated stub to be number
ed consecutively for each election
district. The commission is head
ed by Deputy Judge P. Warren
Green who, with Joseph A. L. Err
rigo, signed the report.
Identification of Applicant
The commission said it believes
zone of the major defects in the
present election laws is the made
quate provisions for the identified
ton of an applicant for registra-
ton. The commission states that
it believes that if the additional
Identification information is requir-
ed to be given and recorded in the
registration books, representation
of a legally registered voter would
be unlikely to occur" 1t is also
stated that"Th commission further
feels that the permanent registra-
ton law would have to be amended
to provide for new general reg
istration if the identification re-
quirements herein suggested are tc
be applied uniformly to all voters.
The commission found another
major defect in the general election
laws is the provision relating to the
number and distribution of Official
ballots"
One Ballot For Each Voter
Instead of the five ballots fol
each registered voter the commits.
sion recommends zone official bal.
lot. for each registered voter in
each election district, and an add.
tional number of official ballots not
to exceed 10 per centum of saic
registered voters should be provid-
ed to allow for defaced or other
wise spoiled ballots. There should
also be provided a like number OF
official ballots to be retained by the
Clerk of the Peace to provide fol
any emergency" the report con-
tinues. In section three of the re.
port, the commission answers the
criticism of citizens who have writ.
ten to it concerning the appoint.
ment of 'non-partisan registration
and election officials"
