more explicit, the following persons are 
new voters; 
New Voters and Old 
(a) All men and women born in the 
United States who become qualified to vote 
in New h ork State after January 1, 1922. 
(b) All men and women of foreign 
birth who become qualified to vote in 
New York State after January 1 , 1922. 
(c) All persons who have previously 
voted in one or more other States, but 
who became qualified to vote in New York 
State for the first time af ter January 1,1922. 
The following persons are not new 
voters: 
(a) Men, both of native and foreign 
birth, who have not yet voted but who 
were qualified to vote before January 1, 
1922. (A person who votes for the first 
time is not necessarily a “new voter.”) 
(b) Women, both of native and foreign 
birth, who have not yet voted but who 
w r ere qualified to vote before January 1, 
1922. (This will include many women 
who have not yet taken advantage of the 
Federal suffrage amendment and who will 
be casting their first vote this year.) 
(c) Illiterate men and women who 
w'ere qualified to vote and have actually 
voted in New Vort State before January 
1, 1922. (Present law not retroactive.) 
(d) World War veterans who took out 
their final citizenship papers (under the 
special act of Congress of July 19, 1919) 
before January 1 , 1922. 
(e) A woman of foreign birth whose 
husband became naturalized before Janu¬ 
ary 1, 1922. 
In places where there is personal regis¬ 
tration like New York City the evidence 
of literacy must be presented by the new 
voter to the election inspector at the time 
the new voter registers. In communities 
of the State where personal registration 
is not required (this includes all com¬ 
munities below 5,000 population) evi¬ 
dence of literacy must be presented to the 
election inspectors on election day. 
New York Has Good Plan 
It is expected that a large number of 
new voters will present themselves this 
year on account of the election of both 
President and Governor. There is no 
doubt that New York State has the best 
simple and practical test of reading and 
writing English understanding^ that has 
yet been devised. New York is also the 
only State that entrusts to its teachers 
the sole duty and responsibility of ex¬ 
amining new voters in regard to their 
literacy. Those best qualified to act in 
this capacity have by law been chosen to 
do so. 
A public service for the cause of good 
citizenship and government will be ren¬ 
dered by all who assist in the publicity of 
the above statements of the law. It is 
strongly urged that effort be made by all 
readers of this journal to inform the new 
voters, whether they be of native or for¬ 
eign birth, of the provisions of this law 
and to urge new voters to cooperate to 
the fullest as well. The local superin¬ 
tendent of schools is the person who 
determines the particular schools that 
shall be opened for the issuance of cer¬ 
tificates of literacy within his district, as 
well as the days and hours when such 
schools shall be opened. Let us all help 
to improve the voting population of our 
State and to develop on the part of the 
citizens a sense of cooperation.
