ABSENTEE VOTE
is DISCUSSED
State Constitution Hampers
Absentee Registration; In
quiries Received
AMENDMENT NEEDED

The state constitution precludes
absentee registration for voting in
the November elections. Conse-
quently, only those service men
and women who have personally
registered at home are eligible to
the privilege of absentee voting as
provided for by the special session
of the General Assembly last
month. This was pointed out by
both Secretary of State William j.
Storey and Atty.-Gen. j. Clair Kill
loran in answer to inquiries on be-
half of Delaware service men who
are now stationed abroad or far
distances from home.
Cites Predicament
Among recent inquiries came one
from Lieut.. Leroy K. McCune, U.
S. N. R., of Wilmington who wrote
to Mr.. Storey on the subject of alb
sentee registration. Citing his own
case, Lieutenant McCune pointed
out that since reporting for active
duty with the Navy in September
of 1941, he has never been station
ed in or near Delaware and that
for the past % months he has been
on duty outside the continental
limits of the United States. He also
pointed out the predicament of ser
vice men who attained their ma
jority while away from home and
hence had no opportunity for pre-
vious registrations.
