Purpose ui the Amendment' Nine Million Are Eligible To Cast Their First Vote (Continued from Page One) persons of first voting age own fJtetr'owir'hornes. 'rT <UJ" Thus as homemakers, produc ers, savers and consumers, and now as the first voters, America s younger generation are taking their place in out .-.octety and as suming their share of the respon sibility for the preservation and protection of our democratic tra ditions and free institutions. Figures compiled by the U. S. Bureau of the Census estimate that more than 9,200,000 young Americans will be old enough to vote in a presidential election for the first time on November 4. This total is the equivalent of ap proximately one out of every 11 of the total American population of voting age. Those* serving in the armed forces are included, for they, too, can vote if they meet the eligibility requirements of the Under the present provision a vacancy may occur so close to the general election it would be impossible or impractical to nomi nate candidates, print ballots and provide for the details of filling such vacancy by an election. In such a case there would be no way to fill such vacancy. The failure to include the "thirty day" pro vision was doubtless an oversight in drafting this provision, which this amendment is intended to eon eet, — -rr- ----—a states in which they are resident. In all, a record number of close to 100 million Americans are now of voting age. an increase of some 4 1-2 million since 1048. The dif ference between this figure and the number of new voters reflects the deaths in the electorate in the last four years. The largest number of new vot ers Hi a presidential year was in 1944. Then a total of more than 9,700,000 young men and women became old enough to cast their first vote, for president, m about a half million more than the group which will reach the qualifying age this November. Numbers aside, the proportion of persons of first voting age to the total electorate has been in a long-term downtrend. Over the last three decades, the figures show, the proportion of new vot ers to the total population of vot ing age has declined by about 25 per cent. Hack in 1920. for exam ple, the number of new voters in that year's presidential election was the equivalent of approxi mately one out of every eight of the total population of voting age as against about one out of every 11 this year. The decline in the proportion of younger voters has been greater in the Northeast and North Central States than in oth er regions, reflecting the popula tion shifts in the last three dec ades. A special factor responsible for the current downward in the number and proportion of new voters is the abnormally low birth rate ol the Thirties, and this will he an influence for some years to come. Over the years, tyevover, th“ voting population has been steadlv growing older m line with the long-term aging of the American population in general. Back in 15)20, for example. Bu reau ot the Census figures show that(64 per cent of the total popu lation of voting age was then to be found in the age bracket! of 21 to 44 years, and only it per cent in the group 65 years old, and over. But in 1950, though the 21 to 44 age group was some Hi mil ion greater in number than in 1920. its proportion of the total population of voting age had fall en to 56 per cent while that of the 65 an dover group had risen to 13 per cent. During these three decades, the proportion of those 45 to 64 years of age had increas ed fwiti 28 to 31 per cent ot the total voting population.
