Chap. 275.—An ACT to Provide for Dividing the Townships of the State in
Voting Districts.

Approved July 11, 1870.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That in each town-
ship of the state in which more than one voting place shall
have been established by law, it shall be the duty of the town-
ship board to designate, by proper and well-defined bounda-
ries, the election district of each voting place within their
township; and they shall, at the earliest practicable day there-
after, make a written report describing, as accurately as they
can, the boundaries of every such voting district, and make re-
turn thereof to the clerk’s office of their county court.

2. When the boundaries of any voting district, designated
in pursuance of this act, shall include the residence of any
voter who has already registered in another voting district of
the same township, it shall be lawful for said voter to change
his place of registration to his own district in the manner pro-
vided for a registered voter, who changes his place of resi-
dence from one township to another, in section nine of the act
approved April thirteenth, eighteen hundred and seventy.

3. This act shall be in force from its passage.
