ARE TO REVISE BOOKS BEFORE ELECTION DAY New Law Requires Voters Must Be Re-listed TRANSFER OLD NAMES Will Be Three Sets of Regis tration Books Under New Plan BOOKS OPEN ON APR. 27 Plans have been set in motion by Yadkin county board of elec tions, of which Troy W. Martin, of East Bend, is chairman, to re vise the registration books of the county as reguired by a law of the last legislature. The Yadkin board has adopted a plan calling for the re-listing of voters, to be carried out by the registrars in all the precincts of the county. Each registrar will transfer from the old poll books the names of all persons who voted in either the 1936 or 1938 election or in the primary of those years. Under the new plan required by law there will be three sets of registration books: one book for the general election, one for the Democratic primary, and one for the Republican primary. It is the duty of the registrar to make the party books as best he can from the general knowledge of the people of his precinct. Any names not found on the books by voters entitles a voter to register and thereby become elig ible to vote. The books for the registration will open on April 27 and close in two weeks. The new listing of voters accord ing to politics is done to prohibit party members from takng part in the nomination of the other party’s candidates.
