A citizen of the United States,
21 years of age or more on election day, who can read and write Einglish, and has been a resident of 'Massachusetts for one year immediately preceding the date of the election, and a resident of his city or town for six months im- mediately before the date of election,
and is a registered voter in his city or town.
New Residents Law of 1962.
A citizen who fulfills all the other basic voting quali- fications listed here may vote by special ballot for president and vice-president only, provided he has lived in Massachusetts for a minimum of 32 days before the election.
Who must register?
A citizen who has not registered before, or has moved to a new city or town,
changed his name through court action or marriage, or whose name was not included in the annual listing of residents on the January first previous to the elec- tion.
Otherwise, voters need register only once in Massa- chusetts.
How to register.
Appear before the local board of registrars of voters and prove under oath that you have the necessary qualifications for voting.
Registration by mail
is not provided for by law except for servicemen and all other federal employees, or spouse, parent or child of a federal employee on foreign service who meet the requirements for absentee voting. If you are unable to appear in person because of illness you may ap- ply in writing to your local registrar who will send two registration officers to your residence.
Where to register.
At the city or town hall or a designated place in a city ward.
In factories, mills, hospitals or rest homes upon peti- tion by ten voters. City or town clerks or local boards of registrars will supply more information.
When to register.

and on the 32 days before presidential primaries, biennial state primaries and elections.
HOW ONE BECOMES A JUROR
1. Selectmen submit names of prospective jurors.
2. These names are checked against the current jury list and if there are no duplications, questionnaires are sent to all names submitted.
3. When all questionnaires are returned, the Town Clerk's office prepares a new list.
4. Jurors are kept on the list for three years unless called for jury duty. When a name has been selected, it auto- matically is removed from the list. At the end of three years, new questionnaires are sent to these people. In other words, no one is entered on the jury list without first answering a questionnaire.
5. Copies of jury list are sent to Superior Court in Boston, Lawrence and the local Chief of Police.
6. One list is used to cut up for the jury box. From this box, the Selectmen draw names of jurors after Constable brings in the request.
