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.
