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.
