Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 September 1914 — Register October 5. [ARTICLE]

Register October 5.

Many people have been somewhat confused in the present registration law as it was changed by the last legislature. In 1912 there were three registration days i n every county in the state. Thi# was found to be unnecessary in most of the counties aid two registration days are sufficient for even the largest cities. The law at present requires one registration day and that will be on Monday, October 5. Two registration days are being held in some counties but the first day had to be petitioned for. As Jasper county did not petition for two days the only opportunity our voters will have to register will on October 5. In cases where voters are unavoidedly kept from registering, they may register by filing an affidavit, but in such cases, the voter should consult with his township chairman of with the county chairman and be sure that his affidavit is according to law.
