Bond Voting
Due May31
For Fairfax

A referendum on a S26 mil

school construction in Fairfax
County will be held May 81,
despite the objections Of the
County Electoral Board.
The County Supervisors made
this decision yesterday after
listening to school oficials. who
wanted the May 81 date and
the electoral board, which
didn't.
The supervisors consulted
State election laws and learned
that some persons who would
be eligible to vote after june
IA will not be eligible on
May 81.
Only those persons who
voted or were eligible to vote
in last November;s general
election or those who paid
their poll taxes by December
IA will be eligible to vote
May 81.
If the election were held on
or after June IA, more voters
would become eligible because
of the time limit in the elec-
ton laws, the supervisors were
told.
Edner r. Duncan, electoral
board chairman, said that hold
ing the election in May might
mean someone could challenge
the validity Of the bond issue.
In support Of his plea for a
June election, Mr.. Duncan said
things would be easier at the
polls because the new poll tax
list will be ready by then.
As it is, election officials sug-
gested that all prospective
voters take their poll tax re-
