According to information made available by County i I Clerk Porter L. Merrell, this week there are 3226 persons f ho have registered to date in the 23 voting districts in county. They, and only they, will have a right to vote ' November 7th, unless the rest of the approximately 3900 " ho were registered two years ago prior to the general Iction do something about it next Tuesday, Oct. 31. The records reveal that 2837 persons voted for the two congressional congres-sional candidates in 1948, o.r about 75 of the registered voters. This leaves a total of 657 who were on the rolls j".' fo-o years ago who are not there now. One other observation that indicates how little regard lf' people in Duchesne county have for their right to vole was fc evidenced by the fact that 858 people cast their votes for jhe two high sheriff candidates on Sept. 5 at the Primary fc; election. Not a very good percentage, is it? tc- Those still not registered have this last day to regis-ter regis-ter and all Duchesne county citizens should check immediately immed-iately with their agent to determine if they are registered. Places of registration are open from 8 a. m. to 9 p. m. Any person who did not vote in the 1948 general election elec-tion or the 1949 city election has had his name dropped from the registration lists, according to Mr. Merrell. Those persons must register again to be able to vote. I Other requirements are American citizenship, residence of one year in the state, four months in the county and 60 days in the precinct, and a minimum age of 21 years. If a r&gislered voter moves from one precinct in the comity to another within 60 days before the election, he 0 qualify in his new precinct only by obtaining a transit. trans-it. Those moving from one voting district to another with- in i precinct may obtain transfers from the registration :;tnl ol the district in which they previously were registered. regis-tered.
