By GERTRUDE THURSTON (New Trier Tow1uhip Supervisor) As registration day approaches, there are many inquiries as to the law of registration applying to towns and villages. The city election laws require regisration, but it is not necessary to regiser in country towns in order to vote. It is, however, necessary to BE registered, because, in case of challenge, the law requires an affidavit before voting unless the voter is registered. To avoid delay and misunderstanding at the polls, voters in the different districts are urged to ascertain, by calling at the polls on registration day, as to whether their names are on the books, and correctly listed. The law directs the judges of these districts to meet on Registration Day and register in the poll books the names of all the voters in their respective districts which they remember, or find in the telephone directory. With the increasing and changing population, this becomes a difficult task, which would be greatly simplified by a personal appearance of each citizen voter who is in doubt as to his registration besides being a certain means of avoiding annoyance and delay on election day if his name has been omitted. On revision day the judges are again required to assemble and correct errors of registration, omissions and wrong addresses, and voters who have. moved since the last election are urged to personally make these corrections upcm tba:t day, or communicate with one of the · udges of their district before, or at the ime of revision. ...
