From The Indianapolis News, Tuesday, September 30, 1924: Marion County voter registration officials pointed out as a matter of precaution all persons who have filled out registration applications with party workers should go to the precinct registration places Monday and make sure they are registered. Sometimes either through carelessness or intentionally, applications completed before party workers fail to reach the registration board. As a result, persons who thought they had registered discovered later they were not on the rolls and were deprived the right to vote. The first registration day, September 6, was the second highest in the history of the registration law. Precinct reports showed 80,218 men and women qualified to vote in the November election, 44,820 men and 35,938 women. One feature of the first registration was that women displayed an interest almost equal to that of men.
