New Master Voter File Planned For Gaston County
Gaston County eyes a three book voter system to replace the old rolls. A precinct file lists precincts, a master file holds all registered voters, and regular precinct books remain. The master file prevents double registration and speeds on election day. Debates cover updating records, preventing deaths or moves from clogging books, and relocating to city hall custody. The 1940 registration remains outdated, with moves and deaths rampant.
