"Note that compliance with the state constitutional requirements is necessary, not only to vote, but to register. _ State constitutions must therefore be studied before we get to the subject of registration acts. We first take upâ€"residence. "In the majority of states the: length of residence necessary to qualâ€" ify a voter to register approximates the following: Residence in the state one year, in the county six months, In. explainin{z the 7qua]ifications of voters under state constitutions, Mr. Michelet says: n ty with fixed dates for personal regisâ€" | tration as in many southern New | England and middle Atlantic states, | and many of the larger cities enst; and west. "But â€" whatever the particular‘ method of listing qualified voters, this ) holds: that the foundation of the‘ American ballot is, first, the state constitution which declares who can register, and second, the state regisâ€" | try system which lists legally qualiâ€" | fied voters, and, votes cannot be cast‘ except in compliance therewith." "No vote can be cast for President and Congress," Mr. Michelet reports in his review of state constitutions and registration acts, "until the votâ€" ers have complied with the provisions of the state constitutions and have been duly registered according to state election laws governing regisâ€" try. Sometimes the registry basis is the poll tax list, or property tax list. Again, the suffrage registry may take the form of the town ‘check list,‘ as in New England. Registry also may have as its basis the last poll list as in the rural sections of the middle: west and other sections. | Registration a Factor "Registry, moreover, may be a; fundamental part of the state constiâ€"| tution, covering the entire subject of legal â€" residence, literacy, taxation, / states together with a complete sur~! vey by states, or constitutional and‘ statutory provisions governing the’ rights and duties of electors desiring to vote in 1928, says the Christian Seience Monitor. I Since all general elections in the United States, Mr. Michelet points | out, are held under state vlection] laws, the foundations of the ballot‘ are, "first, the respective state conâ€" | stitutions governing suffrage and deâ€" fining the qualifications of voters; and, second, the state registration acts providing for lists of voters legally qualified for the ballot in the‘ respective polling places." in answer to the question: Who can vote in 1928° Simon Michelet, president of the National Getâ€"Outâ€" theâ€"Vote club, has prepared a pamph~ let diving the qualifications of voters President of Getâ€"OQutâ€"Vote Club ELECTION LAW ANALYZED Gives Exhaustive OCK ISLAND THE ROAG OF UNUSUAL SERVICE _ ELsnt mc ies 1 ie iiinnt in taiieiiras TBcscbcbtzaanld fiâ€"%p'-mmmhm Street Station (on theelevated luup)&”p-.fiily Only 63 hours Chicago to Los Angeles.

A similar provision in the original Connecticut Constitution is . now amended by reducing the requirement to a literacy test. In Massachusetts the ownership of property on which taxes are paid insures a registry, but is not a mandatory requirement.
