Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 116, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 May 1918 — YOU MUST REGISTER TO VOTE. [ARTICLE]

YOU MUST REGISTER TO VOTE.

Though You Registered Two Years Ago You Will Have to Again. There is a mistaken impression among many voters of Jasper county democrats and republicans, that those who registered two years ago, and have not since changed their place of residence, will not have to register this time in order to vote at the November election. That idea is wrong. We have at our elbow the act providing for regristration of voters and matters connected therewith, approved March 8, 1917, and said law makes it obligatory on each and every voter to regrister at the clerk’s office at the Court House some day between now and the 29th day before the election which last named day shall be the last day on which a voter may register. The regristration board will be in session every day until said date, Sundays and legal holidays excepted, and any voter who fails to register in person, or by mail as provided by law within the prescribed time, will not be allowed to cast a ballot at the November election. <
