We beg to submit our report for 1946:
On January 1st the Board appointed Assistant Regis- trars to take a census of all persons in the Town, twenty years of age and over. The list was duly prepared and printed according to law. Preparing this list of January 1st each year continues to be difficult; the cold weather and ice and snow and dangerous condition of travel, make it distasteful for those who undertake it; it is not as well done as it should be, and takes longer and costs more to accomplish.
In February the Board held five evening sessions for registering voters prior to the Town Election, at which time 148 persons qualified to appear on the voting list; in May three evening sessions were held prior to the State Primary and 251 persons qualified as voters; in October five evening sessions were held prior to the State Election and 2013 persons qualified as voters. Throughout the year during regular business hours 731 persons were registered as voters in the Town Clerk's Department. The total num- ber of persons registered during the year being 3143.
A recount of the votes cast at the State Election held November 5th for the offices of Lieutenant Governor and Auditor was held in the Robbins Memorial Town Hall on Wednesday evening, December 11, 1946 at 6:30 p. m. and concluded at 11 o'clock.
Below is a list showing a total of 22,945 registered voters in the fourteen precincts as of October 16, 1946.
