Permanent regisâ€" tration is entirely feasible and pracâ€" ticable but it is necessary to have a sound system. It is not enough mereâ€" ly to graft permanence upon existing types of registration system. The whole systemâ€"the records, organizaâ€" tion, procedure, and methods of keepâ€" ing the lists up to date, must be adapted to permanent registration. Registration Lists "Registration lists should be kept up to date by means of official death reports transfers made by persons who have moved, cancellation upon failure to vote within a twoâ€"year peâ€" riod, and by a check made through the post office which verifies mailing lists at a low cost.. Each voter should be identified on election day by means of his signature which will be comâ€" pared with his signature taken at the time of registration. < The best method would be to have each voter sign a certificate. A comparison could then be made with the voter‘s signature on the certificate and his signature on the registration blank. The certifiâ€" cates would constitute the poll book. "The office group ballot form should be used. Under this system the names of the candidates are arranged under the office for which they are running. In order to vote, each voter must put a cross mark opposite the name of the candidate he prefers for cach office.â€" No provisions are made | for voting straight party tickets. This ‘ form has been thoroughly tried out in 14 states. . "The election authorities should have a free hand in the choice of regâ€" istration and election‘ officials withâ€" out regard to party affiliations or loâ€" cation within the city."
