Jackson County Sets Second Day For Voter Re registration
Jackson County schedules the second day of a three day voter re registration period with polling from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. in 49 precincts as part of an effort ordered by the Board of Supervisors to update the voter register and remove dead or moved cards. The first day on November 21 yielded about 6 500 registrations, with a third date set for January 15 and post date registrations at the County Clerk's office. A new filing cabinet with rotating trays and alphabetical control will be installed to replace the old drums to prevent lost cards and will be ready early next year.
