SOLDIERS' LITE
FILE ELECT!
CHARLESTON, \V. Vii.. Auk. 2 —
Whether West Virginia soldiers who
are in the foreign service of their
country will be allowed to cast votes
In the elections this fall is an unset
tled question, and a special session of
the legislature Is being agitated to
amend the election laws that no doubt
may he cast upon the franchise of a
soldier.
The present law, enacted by the
legislature in a special session in 1217,
wes designed to afford men In service
an opportunity to vote, but now ll Is
pointed out thut many of Its provi
sions are unnecessary and some are
Impossible State political leaders are
being urged by constituents to sup
port any move for a special session
to clarify the election laws, and (lov
| ernor Cornwall has been asked to as
semble the legislature
The present law provides that n
soldier must apply in writing to the
registrar of Ills precinct not less than
thirty days prior to the election, the
application to be made by registered
mail. As soon as the registrar re
ceives a copy of the official ballot ho
must send a ballot, with voting en
velope and return envelope directed
to the registrar; a printed slip of in
struction as to the manner of voting;
and a certificate of registration with
; a coupon attached of a form specified
in the act. These must he sent in
cure of the soldier's commanding of
ficer.
The soldier must open this envelope
in the presence of his commanding of
ficer. must take out a certificate and
sign it in the presenre of the officer,
land the commanding officer must also
take ,oyt and sign a certificate of tha
form indicated In the act The sealed
ballot, the certificate of the voter and
the certificate of the officer are for
i warded by registered mail to the regis
trar.
IT he registrar is required to deposit
the bailout and papers in a sealed box
and, seven days prior to the election,
he must jtost at the polling place in
g his preciitl't a list of all the soldiers
s who have; applied for ballots, and on
election the registrar shall de
£ liver the ^box containing the sealed
£ ballots tof the commissioner of elec
£ I tion.
£ Those who have studied the act and
:j: its provisions maintain that the elec
£ tion machinery for the soldier vote is
:•£ unwieldy, making it a burden for the
£| soldier desiring to vote, besides
£j placing upon company commanders or
£ commanding officers charged with the
£ supervisi it of the voting an unneces
£ sary amount of work, that may fall
£!upon them at a crictical time in the
activities of the American army
