Chicago Registration Shows Voters For November Elections
Chicago police reports indicate 710,72 voters registered on Saturday for the November elections. Of these 316,994 were men and 154,078 were women, with men outnumbering women about two to one. A second registration day on October 17 will be the last chance to register before voting. The city’s total registration is expected to reach about 800,000. Judge Thomas F. Scully’s ruling that women need not reveal their ages spurred many registrations, though some precincts caused confusion over residence questions. This confusion should be resolved by October 17.
