Show ABSENT VOTERS ' INSTRUCTED ON PROCEDURE Do you expect to be away from your home precinct on election day? If so, don't fail to make arrangements ar-rangements to vote by absent-voter absent-voter ballot. If you expect to be out of the city or county in which you live, and at least 20 miles away from home on election day (November 3) here is what you do: Write to your county clerk, or apply in person at his office, for an absent-voter ballot. The county clerk will ask you to fill out an official application, after which he will give you or mail you the official of-ficial ballot. You then mark this ' ballot in accordance with your wishes on candidates and issues, have it notarized (this can be done free of charge at any county clerk's office), and see that it is mailed or delivered to the county clerk of your home county. Your absent-voter ballot must be in the hands of your county clerk, not later than election day. Otherwise, it will not be counted. So make your application for absent-voter ballot immediately, while there is still time. There is another way you can vote before election day. You can do this by casting your ballot in your county clerk's office any time after October 16 and before election elec-tion day. Naturally, you have to be registered regis-tered in order to vote. If you haven't registered, you can do so on Tuesday, October 27th. And if you have been unable to register because of absence from the county, coun-ty, and will be unable to register on the 27th for the same reason, you may still go to the county clerk's office any week-day evening eve-ning from October 15th to October 26th, between 7 and 9 p. m., and register there. This will qualify you to vote in the November 3rd election, either by absentee ballot as described above or at the regular regu-lar polling place in your district. Presiden Roosevelt has said: "I trust that every voter, regardless of party affiliations, will register, and on November 3rd, exercise the right of ballot. This is one of the essential privileges and duties of our democratic way of life for which we are now fighting." |
