| CERTIFICATES NOT NECESSARY.
The question raised by some regis
trars as to tbe necessity of issuing
certificates to voters moving from on?
precinct to another is ans vered In
tfie following letter:
May 6th, 1920.
Mr. A.. F. Johnson, Chairman,
County Board of Elections,
Loul8burg, N. C.
Dear Mr. Johnson
Replying to your request for infor
mation relative to the question of
whether or not it is necessary for a
voter, moving from one precinct to
another in the County, to obtain a cer
tificate from the registrar of the pre
cinct from which hj moved before
registration in the precinct to which
he moves, and In which ha desires to
vote. I beg to say that, in my opin
ion, there is no necessity for such cer
tiflcate, provided such voter has re
months and is otherwise entitled to
registration.
I have not obtained a ruling on this
question from the Attorney General,
but this seems perfectly clear to me
and the Chairman of the State Board
of Elections agrees with me in regard
tn the question and has so expressed
himself.
Yours very truly,
E. H. MALONE.
Chairman Franklin Country Demo
cratic Executive Committee.
