Attorney General Rules on Soldier Voting Rights
Richmond Virginia October 19 194? Attorney General Abram P Staples issues a double barrell legal opinion on whether discharged soldiers may vote in the forthcoming election. He says service members discharged before October 7 cannot vote unless registered as civilians. Those still in service at home on election day may vote without poll tax or registration. If a service ballot is mailed and a in person ballot is cast the local officials will decide which to count. A service voter home before registration closes is not required to register under the war voters acts.
