Discharged Veterans Who Registered
By Proxy Must Re-Register
To Vote In State Primary In July

were not required to do this in bal
loting under the states servicemen'
election law enacted by the legisla-
ture in 1914.
I'm order" the ruling held, Ito
execute a military service ballot, the
voter must execute an affidavit that
he is in military service. To be a
person in the military service
means the voter must be on active
duty in military service.
"Inasmuch as it is impossible for
a discharged veteran to execute
such an affidavit, he, therefore,
would not be entitled to vote under
the provisions of the military Serv-
ice act.
After an examination of the
amendment to the election laws
providing the procedure for the
registration and voting OF citizens
absent in the military service, it is
clearly manifest that the legislature
indicated that it was unnecessary
for a citizen in military service to
designate his party affiliation.
Under the law" the attorney
general pointed out, however, "a
citizen registering to vote must in
dicate in his affidavit of registra-
ton his party affiliation.
1--WE are of the opinion that every
returning discharged service veteran
tecomes clothed with the rights,
privileges and obligations of a resi-
dent citizen voter and, in order to
comply with the registration laws OF
this state, and in order to secure
a primary ballot in the party Of his
choice, he must re-register within
the time required by statute before
the next primary
Mr.. Sullivan pointed out that a
voter in the military service who is
apprehensive that he might arrive
home after the registration books
for the primary are closed on June
10, should avail himself of the privl-
lege of voting on his military service
ballot prior to his discharge from
the service. Ballots for persons in
military service are mailed 60 days
before the primary.
Nogales international., 1946-03-29

Discharged servicemen returning
to the state, who registered by proxy
while in military service and voted
in the last general election via mill
tary service ballot, must re-register
within the statutory period to be
eligible to ballot in the forthcoming
state primary in July.
This was the essence of an opinion
given Dan E. Garvey, secretary OF
state, by John L. Sullivan, attorney
general, designed to clarity the vot-
ing status of eX-service men.
The ruling also held that ex-
servicemen in re-registerlng, must
indicate, in their affidavit of regis
tration, their party affiliation. They
