registered in either place you Can't vote. Therefore, a person

district, before it holds its ele*t~on, has to provide for
registration. This is what the notice is for - those persons Who
· ~
are not-regmstered in either plac'e now.--The Town of SSuthold does
not have anything to do with the legal notice, nortthe'vOte.
