VOTE FOR
COMMISSIONERS
Mistaken Impression Over County ?
Vote For Olio From Each Dis
trict The Same As Before The
19.10 Primary.
For some reason there seems to be
a mistaken understanding of the
method of- nominating the members
of the Board of County Commission
ers. ?
Reports reaching Louisburg Indi
cate the impression is general over
the County that candidates can be
toted for only in the district from
whichjie is running. On. the contrary
nvcry "voter in the County, regardless
of where he lives can vote for one
candidate for Commissioner from each
district. Bach voter can vote for
nve Commissioners, but., in no case
can he vote for more thkn one Com
missioner in any one district. This
feature of the law is exactly like it
was for several years before the 1930
campaign.
The only change in the law from
what it was back of 1930 is that the
Commissioners nominated from Dis
tricts Nos. 1, 2 and 3 will be elected
for two years and those nominated
trom Districts Nob. 4 and 8 will be
"elected tor " four years. Thereafter
bit Commissioners will be -elected for
fi ur years, alternating betweeu the
two groups of districts eaMi two
years. The effect will be that at no
t rae will there be a Complete new
Board of Commissioners elected.
It is especially desired that the
\oters get the correct Information
| about the manner in which the Com
misaioners will be nominated. Upon
the ticket when printed all ? thr
names from each district will be
grouped under that District number
with Instructions to vote for one
I'umed under each group. When one
is selected from each district group
it will make a total of five, which
number constitutes the membership
of the Board of County Commission
era.
j A voter cannot vote for two or more
I in any one district, a ticket marked
| thus would be thrown uat and not
I counted. ? ?
