Mora than 40 election Judges
and other Interested person-
attended s meeting at the Court-
house Tuesday morning to dis-
cuss the forthcoming general
election on November 3.
Speaking for the county •lec-
tion board, County Judge Gavin
Watson, Jr., suggested acloeer
check of voter qualifications
during the polling. Judges and
clerks were urged to ask for
poll tax receipts to be checked
against poll tax lists. Overage
voters, or those who have lost
or mislaid poll tax receipts,
may sign affidavits at the poll-
ing place to this effect.
Watson advised the group that
qualifications remain essenti-
ally the same; payment of poll
tax or exempt because of age.
Only 12 persons applied for and
received poll tax exemptions to
vote for Federal offices only.
All others coming to vote must
have paid the poll tax or be
exempt because of age, either
21 years of age or over 40 years.
The election board has been
advised that poll watchers will
be i saigas tl to certain voting
precincts by one or both politi-
cal parties. These watchers can
observe ell stages of the elec-
tion procedure, Watson explain-
ed, but are not allowed to make
any comment to a prospective
vote is
The election board to asking
all persons entering the polling
place to immediately advise the
judge If they have a poll tax
or If they aa exempt because of
sge. AU voters are urged to
bring their poll tax receipts to
the voting place.
' The polls will be open from
I a.m. to 7 p.m.
