After Caucuses on Other county election bureaus are

“cleaning up” after last week's primary election, but the County Registration Office is preparing for the November general election. The staff of 20 workers in the] voters’ registration office at the Court House began compiling revised voters registration files for November, Their task is to check sighatures on all precinct poll books against the precinct registration cards to make sure that all persons who voted in the primary were given credit for their vote on the cards. This is necessary because of the law which provides that registration of a voter must be cancelled if he fails to vote in two successive elections. After this check, the registration staff then must transfer the information from the precinct cards to the master file. This means that more than 106000 separate cards must be handied twice. The registration office also must prepare to receive approximately 15000 new registrations before the Nov. 4 general election. Besides, it is estimated that 50,000 registration transfers will be made. A total of 275844 persons were registered to vote before the primary and 285,880 were on the books as qualified voters before the 1938 general election. Registration is always highest just before a general election, officials said, although the actual vote may be less than half the number of those registered.
