City Voting
Instruction
Plan Set Up
City election officials are ready
to launch an extensive voting ma-
chine instruction program next,
week as preparations for the Nov.
3 election enter their final stage.
Five of the machines will be set
up at the beginning of next week
for demonstration and 15,000 in-
struction sheets, on the operation
of the machine, will be distribut-
ed throughout the city.
* * *
WITH 23,671 voters registered,
City Clerk Fred Looker emphasized
the necessity of voters knowing
how to operate the machine when
they go to the poll.
Looker pointed out that state
law permits a voter only one
minute inside the booth to cast
his vote. "With a knowledge of
the procedure of the machine a
voter should be able to cast his
ballot in about 30 seconds," he
said.
"In order to give everybody
ample time, however, we are al-
lowing voters two minutes inside
the booth," Looker continued.
The demonstration machines
are being set up at City Hall. Re-
publican and Democratic Head-
quarters,the Dunbar Civic Center
and a location on State Street
which has not been determined.
OPERATORS will be stationed
with the machines to instruct vot-
ers. Taking into considei'ation the
lengthy slate of candidates and
the importance of the election, of-
ficials expressed hope that all vot-
ers would avail themselves of the
'instruction opportunity if they
have any doubts concerning the
machines' operation.
The instruction sheets will be
distributed next week by the Boy
Scouts, local service clubs and the
League of Women Voters. On the
sheet will be a reduced picture of
instruction ballots.
Polling places will be open from
7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day.
Registration is up about 5,000 over
the 1948 presidential election,
Looker pointed out, and so urged
voters to visit polling places dur-
ing slack hours.
