Carbondale Increases Precincts to Eighteen in Realignment
The Jackson County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a full precinct realignment for Carbondale Township raising precincts from 13 to 18. The plan, pushed by Assistant Supervisor John I Wright with support from Dorothy Randall of the League of Women Voters, aims for more compact zones with 500 to 800 registered voters each and requires complete re registration of about 13 000 voters for new precinct and street number verifications. Voting place changes will be set up and those cards will update voters to new precinct numbers. The permanent files will be updated in time for the June 1968 primary election.

Frederic Gregg Jr. of Gregg Cablevision explains Southern Illinois CATV timelines depend on FCC action. He cites 12 systems nationwide with six more under construction, and says delays stem from FCC jurisdiction, staff shortages, and potential waivers.
