From The Indianapolis Times, Tuesday, June 8, 1926: Thousands of Indianapolis citizens who thought they were registered to vote in the fall election by having voted in May’s primary election were mistaken, according to an opinion issued today by Indiana Attorney General Arthur Gillion. Despite Republican county leaders, in striving to bring out a large primary vote, asserting voting in the primary would automatically mean registration for the November general election, Gillion wrote the law clearly states only those who entered their names on the poll books by voting at the last general election and had not moved shall be eligible to cast a ballot. Those having not voted in November 1924 or having since moved must register from Aug 1 to Sept 1 at the county auditor’s office or through political party workers who are authorized to register voters.
