From that time on, they are out of control of the County Clerk. Without relief from his function as County Clerk and 13 Third District Court Clerk, Mr. Weiler and his assistant, J1 Donald Burgi, are administrators of a function that is outlined by statute, manned by political patronage that changes from election to election and over which they have no control while contriving to pinpoint accuracy out of a dilemma. They lack not only full time help clerkX but lack anything more than help. They have nothing to say about hiring, except that they must be hired. Mr. Weiler has nothing to say about their function except to tell them how the law says they must function. He has no way of determining that his instructions $n meaningful, n u iJ r What doei the administrator of the county election's budget do? To conduct all elections all school board and bond elections, all general elections and all special elections except those which are exclusively city elections and exclusively improvement district elections. But even for these exceptions, he must loan out county facilities, including voting booths, ballot boxes and the voting registers. For this function, Mr. Weiler said, he employs one fill time clerk; needed to serve persons who come in to register and to record transfer of registration from one distri-- t to another. But, this doesnt require a full time personnel; yet one must be on hand full time in case needed. So, the election budget fulltime employe is utilised in spare ho moments to diminish ithe load pressure in a tightly staffed County Clerk -- District Clerk organisation. do alternate years, said Mr. Wetlei, fulltime help (six women) are employed pert time to serve the sharply increased registration load from July to election day. This staff, all functioning on the county budget, Mr. Weller said, along with county "acuities, are used for all city elections, with the exceptions noted, without additional contributions from city budgets. Because elections vary in number and site, budgets vary in site. In 1963, the election budget was $40,400; in 1964, $195,700; la 1965, $34,200. Mr. Weller budgets to elections the costs of one station wagon, used in each electloo to deliver booths, boxes, re- to to service them The vehicle K stars; to pick them up, and used cooperate with city in the conduct of exclusively city elections. There is little else in the capital items section of the elections budget, except that worn out facilities must be replaced year by year. The inclusion again this year of io r - automatic voting booths for 1966 is pert of the persistent effort of the clerk's office to effect efficiency and economy in elections. Use of the booths, it has been explained time and again, r would eliminate the cost of one person at each polling place. It would sharply Increase efficiency in counting and would eliminate error. It would cut down the time required to complete counting (which is continuous with each ballot .vj cast). 84 C r Control over the voting booth, Mr. Weiler observed would be the controls built into the machine Once he has instructed polling judges under the present system, he has no control over efficiency Under the present system, the party recommends judges by asking chairmen of the district to select someone to serve Assuming that the county will balk again at mechanised balloting, Mr. Weiler and Mr. Burgi are hopeful that Utah might "modernise'' to the extent of eliminating many ballots in favor of one He proposes, to cut down on voting confusion, cut down on paper costs, and cut down on printing costs; that all balloting be printed on a single sheet of paper as it is done successfully elsewhere Mr. Weiler also would like to see a change in the election laws, at least changes needed to make the laws consistent.

On the next page of the Utah election laws is a section providing that a person may not lose residency; that there is always one residency; the one cannot be lost until another is gained Because the law is doubtful, said Mr Weiler, he gives voters the benefit of the doubt and lets them vote when they have met local residency requirements To supplement this confusion in statutory regulations, Mr. Weiler also noted that some states use a short form ballot in national elections for persons who have not satisfied the state laws on voting for state and local offices.
