ANNE RAIMO
 DENIED VOTE
Addison Street Resident Loses Out By Error on
 Electors List

At least one person in Waterbury who was eligible to vote in yester- days election was denied the priv- ilege as the result of 8 belatedly dis- covered typographical error on the electors list, it was disclosed last night.
 The case in question occurred last night in Ward 3, District 4, at the Highland avenue fire station when Miss Anne Raimo of 8 Addison street appeared to cast her ballot. The young woman, who said she had voted in several previous elections and has not changed her address in IT years, was denied the right to vote when electors found her name was not on the list.
 It was dis closed at the registrar's s office today that the name had been inadvertently dropped when the list was printed, and that the prospec- tive voter would have been obtained a special certificate.
 Since Miss Rairno called at the polling place 10 minutes before clos ing time there was insufficient time to carry out the required procedure. Although a moderator interceded in her behalf and contacted officials at the registrars office nothing could be done because of the nearness of the deadline. It was admitted at that time that the absence of the name was due to typographical error, but the moderator said he could not add the name to the list without actually receiving a certi- ficate.
 It was reported today many per- sons were denied the right to vote because they had moved to new ad- dresses and had not registered for the polling place in the new district.
