Spell Out New Voting
Requirements In District 22
A change has been made in the
qualifications of those who may
register to vote in the Far­mingdale
Annual Election to be
held on June 10, it was announced
this week. A person may register
who is a citizen of the United
States; 21 years of age and a
resident within the district for a
period of 30 days next preceding
the meeting at which he offers to

A resident no longer needs to

under a contract of purchase of
real property in the district. Nor
does he have to be a parent of a
child of school age or have a child
of school age residing with him.
Individuals who are already
registered will receive a notice of
eligibility stating that " this
message applies only to the
person whose name appears on
the face of this card." It will also
direct all members of the family
who meet the qualifications to
register.
Registration will take place on
June 3, between the hours of 10: 00
a. m. and 10: 00 p. m. at the Weldon
E. Howitt Junior High School.
Qualified residents who do not
receive a notice of eligibility, are
urged to register on June 3. If
residents have any questions
about whether or not they are
registered, they are urged to visit
the Howitt Junior High on the day
of registration. A check on
registrations over the telephone
will not be possible, according to
a school spokesman.
