Ballots For Primaries Ready For Use Monday
Printing of 30 000 ballots for the primaries next Monday nears completion and delivery to election officials is expected this week as registration is unusually light. Democratic ballots total 16 250 and Republican 13 750, with 25 percent extra printed beyond registered voters. Mail ballots for armed forces are few, with about 50 sent and none returned to the supervisors yet. Registration tallies show precincts with little to no voters, and many polling places will be staffed by women due to men being at war work. Ballots and paraphernalia are staged for precincts once ballots arrive.
