Re: General Municipal Election, April 9, 1968
To facilitate efficient operations within the Election -Registration
Department we are asking all City Clerks to complete the attached
questionnaire and return one (1) copy to this office.
This questionnaire would be in addition to the various items
supplied to you previously; however, it is our thought that if
the preliminary information were listed in this simple manner
it would eliminate unnecessary communications for all concerned.
The formal resolutions re: Notice of Election, Service Request,
Nominees and Measures, Precinct Polling Places and Election
Officers could follow as closely as possible to the dates shown
