THE CLOTHMAKER New State Vote Law Is Explained If you are inactive as a voter, your name may be taken off the voter registration books, according to a new state law. HPl~? fk ir*n4-irv?-? /-* f 4U/\ lilt ^UCOUUIl Ui IliC ilCW law came up recently in connection with Clinton's municipal Democratic Primary, and this is the way it was explained by a spokesman for the Laurens County Registration Office. If you fail to vote in two consecutive general elections, you will receive a registered letter from the State Registration Board, informing you that your name is to be removed from the registration lists. You have 20 days in which to appeal. If you fail to vote in two straight general elections but cast your vote in a primary in between, your name will remain on the voter books.
