CITIZEN Time Running Out for Registration Time is running out for the unregistered voter. Today, Tuesday, is one of three days remaining on which to register and thereby insure America's most precious gift to its citizens the right to vote. The two remaining days prior to the Nov. 8 election are Nov. 1 and 2. Agents in each of Box Elder countys 44 districts will have the voter rolls open from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. Theres no better time than now to get your name in the book if its not already there. Persons who normally will need to register are new residents and youngsters having turned 21 years old since the previous election. However, if you havent voted in any election ? Mi candidates Night during the past two years, its a good bet your name has been deleted from the rolls. You will need to Residency requirements say that a citizen must have lived in the state for one year, in the county six months and in his present district for 60 days. The time is figured to election day which should help a number of persons squeeze under the wire. Also, if a younger citizen will have turned 21 by election day, he is eligible to registed and vote. Heres a tip to all members who didnt cast a ballot in the Sept. 13 primary election: Check with the agent in your district to make sure you are registered.
