Co., Wlniton-BKlem, N CL Because of confusion among stu dents as to voting procedures, Harold Gillette, Lancaster County Registration Commissioner, has supplied the following information regarding voting procedures. Students who come to Lincoln to go to school only are not eli gible to register in Lancaster coun ty. In order to vote the student will have to write to the county clerk in his own district and ask for an absentee ballot, he said. The clerk will send an absentee bailot and a certificate to fill out and send back with the ballot. If the student lives in a town of un der seven thousand he is not re quired to register. There are only fourteen towns in the State of Nebraska that re quire registration, Gillette ex plained. They are Omaha, Lincoln, Has tings, Grand Island, Fremont, Nor folk, Columbus, Kearney, Alliance, Beatrice, McCook, Nebraska City, North Platte and Scottsbluff. Absentee ballots will be avail able at the county clerk's office Oct. 22 and the deadline for ob taining absentee ballots in Nov. 3. Gillette urged all students who are eligible to vote to register be fore it's too late. Also those who have to obtain absentee ballots should make requests for them as soon as they are available, he pointed out.
