The Citizen launches a six week circulation and vote collection drive in Carthage offering prizes for new and renewing subscribers. Participants clip nomination coupons for 5 000 starter votes, obtain voter kits, and recruit friends to boost votes through coupons and subscriptions. An Advisory Board and judges will oversee fairness and tally grand prize results.
The Grand Capital Prize goes to the contestant with the most votes, followed by the Second, Third, and Fourth Grand Prizes for descending vote totals. After prizes, non-winning active contestants may receive a 20 percent cash commission on daily subscription reports if they meet at least two yearly reports per week for the contest duration. No one may receive both a Capital Prize and the commission.
The Citizen outlines eligibility, nomination, and voting rules for a local campaign. It covers who may run, how votes and subscriptions are handled, transferability restrictions, commissions, penalties for noncompliance, and the sealed ballot process under judges, with extensions and amendments reserved by the paper.
