sections watauga democrat sectionb VOL. LXXXI—NO. 14 BOONE, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1968 PRICE: TEN CENTS WATAUGA DEMOCRAT ELECTION SERVICE Voter Registration For Watauga To Begin Oct. 12 c-iecuon Laws sti pulate that a person must be a resident of his voting precinct for 30 days before he is quali fied to be registered. But what about temporary residents or those who cannot establish their own residence? The registrar has the respon sibility of determining whether a person is a temporary resi dent. He judges a person’s oc cupation for this very often. A person coming into a precinct with the intention of leaving that precinct in a short time is not considered a resident for voting purposes. College students may be con sidered temporary residents since they are usually at col lege for roughly nine months. For billing purposes, colleges use the address of the stu dents parents as the students* legal address. Thus, the per manent address of the student, would be that erf his parents and while he could not regis ter in the precinct of his col lege he could do so in the precinct at his home. Construction workers fall in the same category as college students. But if a construction worker moves into an area with the intention of leaving as soon as the construction project is completed, he is deemed a temporary resident and cannot be registered in that temporary location. He is allowed to register in the area where his permanent residence IQ limunon. Many school teachers reside in their work area for the school term only and return to their former residence for the sum mer. They have had no in tention of establishing a per manent residence in their work area, in that case. A federal or state govern ment worker keeps his voting precinct as it was before he entered government work un less he intends to establish a new permanent residence. __ In jjfijaeral, hospital patients are considered to be tempora rily confined to the hospital but a person who expects to be confined in a hospital dur ing the entire registration time may be registered prior to the regular registration time by appearing before the chairman of the county board of elec tions. Should a person be con fined in a hospital within his own precinct, the registrar may carry the registration books to him and allow him to regis ter. If a person living in a home for the aged or a nursing home {dans to make this home his permanent residence, he may be allowed to register in the precinct of that home. He should retain his registration at his established domicile if he plans to leave the home at intervals, or plans to return to his for mer residence. A registered voter may vote in his precinct even if he has left his permanent residence and established a new one in North Carolina as long as the election takes place not more than 30 days after he moves. This allows a voter to cast his ballot in a statewide or national election as long as he has met the one-year state residence requirement but not the 30-day requirement in his new precinct. If he should have established new residence so far away from his old voting precinct to make it impractical for him to cast his ballot in person, he may vote by using an absentee bal lot. The word “domicile”governs a person’s residence. The fact that a person lives in a certain place does not mean that he will be allowed to register there. He must have definite intent on making a location his place of residence. A person’s domicile is considered to be the place to which he intends to return, even though he may live in another location for a period. Students, for example, are con sidered to plan to return to the home from which they came when the school term is over. To be able to vote in the Tuesday, Nov. 5, general elec tion a person must be duly reg istered. Registration books are opening Saturday, Oct. 12. J.D. Winebarger is chairman of the Watauga County Board of Elec tions and will be located in the Watauga County Jailhouse build ing throughout the registration period.

This is the sort of thing we will be •tre»»iag4n the upcoming studio course. “We were particularly at tracted to this region,” Dr. Force continued, “because of the rich craftsmanshipheritage in weaving which has been suc cessfully combined with con temporary design qualities by several craftsmen in the area, notably Penland School in Spruce Pine.’ Dr. Force is married and is the mother of two children who are now away at college.
