October 13, to run through Sat
urday, October 27. Registrars will
be at precinct polling places on
the three Saturdays and will be
available at their homes or places
of business on other days.
Moore County is conducting a
completely new registration of
voters this year, undertaken prior
to last May’s primary. Persons

to check their status with the reg
istrar, Mrs. Alma Jones, during
the registration period.
The bond issues are the only
matters on the November 6 town
ballot. No officials will be elect
ed at that time.

the state. Congressional and coun

newly created this year.

er precinct for their registration
