Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 55, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 October 1916 — MONDAY IS REGISTRATION DAY [ARTICLE]

MONDAY IS REGISTRATION DAY

Every Voter Should Ascertain If He Must Register Next Monday, October 9, is registration day, and we would urge that every voter in tile county make sure about his own qualifications as an elector if he desires to vote at the November election. Here are some of the points that must be considered : If he has reached the age of 21 years since the last general election in 1914 or will reach that age on or before the day of election, towit: Tuesday, November 7, 1916, then he must register in the precinct in w’hich he intends to vote. If he has moved from one precinct to another since the general election in 1914, or if he has moved out of one precinct into another and then back to the first precinct, he must register. If he registered in 1914 and failed to vote at the general election that year, then he must register. • If he has declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States since the last election in 1914 and desires to vote in November,* he mu9t register. „ If he failed to register or vote in 1914 and desires to vote in November, he must register. Only those Voters who registered and voted in 1914 and who have not moved to another precinct since the election of two years ago will not have to register this year. This class takes in the majority of the voters of Jasper county, but there are several hundred throughout the county who will have to register this year. The thing to do is to find out NOW if you belong to the class that WILL or WILL NOT have to register on October 9. r
