Olson, but according to comments throughout the county, that is exactly what all Utah voters will be trying to t Tuesday. Precise figures from registration agents as to the number of persons in the county registered to vote, are not available due to the large territory covered by Box Elder County. However, Mr. Olson said, slight increase should be seen in voting. "The main issue that seems to be arousing voters is liquor by the drink," said Mr. Olson. "Our absentee ballots have been numerous as servicemen continue to write in for voting materials," he said. o do-nex- "As of Friday," said Mr. Olson, "400 ballots have been mailed to Utah voters outside the . state. Ballots already returned number 224." This compares with 135 two years ago and 589 in the last presidential election year. As Utah continues an all-o- ut campaign to rank first in the percentage of qualified voters to exercise their rights by turning out to vote, Box Elder County registrars added many names to their lists Tuesday and Wednes- - day of this week. "It will be hard to beat the record we set in 1964 when 12,014 out of 13,555 registered voters cast their ballot, said the county clerk. An exact number of qualified voters is not available since a census of 1960 is the only population record, and does not reflect present statistics, he said. The commission seat held by Charles J. Wood is sought by two new hopefuls as Commissioner Wood was defeated in the Sept. 10 primaries by Don E. Chase, Republican.

Voters will elect or members to the Utah House of Representatives from both legislative districts in the county.
