Dear Mr. Schroeder:
On election day, November 2, 19?6, 25,200 voter registration cards
were taken at the pollin� places in St. Paul. The previous high
for election day registrations was 7,23� on November 5, 197�F.
To process the 25,200 registration cards is very time consuming.
The re�istration cards are supplied on a perforated sheet with
instructions attaehed that have to be separated in three places
by the registration clerks giving us a total of 50,�-00 original
and duplicate registration cards. Then the ward and precinct
must be obtai.ned for each address and entered on the original card.
After the cards are separated into ward and precinet order all of
the information on the original eard is typed on the duplicate
card and the typing verified as to accuracy. A postal is typed
and mailed to each voter to verif�r that the voter lived at the
address given and also to correct a voter who registered at the
wrong polling place. A master card is typed for all registrations.
The origina.l and duplicate cards of voters who �av� a previous
address must be removed as well as those who registered again
from the same address. The original, duplicate and master cards
totaling 75,600 cards must be filed with existing cards of the
same designation.
Since the num.ber of election day registrations was not anticipated
when the 197? budget was prepared, I am requesting an additional
appropriation of $10,000.00, based on 15 registration clerks
workin� full time for two payroll periods at $3�5•50 per payroll
period.
Ve truly yours,
