Dear Sir:
I should like to take this opportunity to express to you my
thanks for the cooperation of your newspaper in publicizing
the period of Conditional Voter Registration which ended on the
17th of March.
it was through your effort that the people of this county
were made aware of their responsibilities and privleges under
the new voter registration act. Because of your public-spirited
endeavoF, more people were registered as quantified voters
than was expected.
There was a total of 868 persons registered as voters during
the Conditional Voter Registration period. There were 2821
who had previously qualified as voters. This makes the total
registered voting strength of Young County 3689, which is close
to that of the last General Election. I -
As the figures given do not indicate the number of persons
eligible to vote who are not subject to the registration laws be-
cause of age or other reasons, it is impossible to accurately
forecast our total voting potential.
It is felt, however, that the above figures are an indication
that possibly more people are becoming aware of their respon-
sibilities, obligations and privileges as a citizen of our state
by Becoming qualified to cast their vote in our future elections.
Again, thanks for your cooperation and support.
Sincerely Yours,
Kelly Jones
