Douglas County voter registration bill aims at two counties
Kansas legislators introduce a proposal to require voter registration in Douglas and Riley counties with Kansas and Kansas State Universities. Mathia warns that a strict 55 000 to 60 000 population range could nullify registrations if population falls below 55 000 after the 1971 headcount. The plan would cover nine Douglas County townships and the cities of Eudora Baldwin and Lecompton, with 18 year old voting possibly creating issues for college students.

Topeka GOP senators push cuts to Gov. Docking's austere budget aiming to limit new programs and shift funds. They back statewide voter referendum on 18 year old voting, with April 6 city election date set for the vote. A Kansas Department of Corrections bill would reorganize probation and parole under a seven member board. Non essential items include licensing for vegetable growers and mandatory marriage counseling in divorce cases.
