RESOLUTION NO. 60-165 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA, URGING ALL QUALIFIED PERSONS TO REGISTER AS VOTERS FOR THE GENERAL STATE- WIDE AND PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 8, 1960 WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Santa Aha unquali- fiedly believes and earnestly urges that all eligible persons should be registered as electors that they may vote on November 8, 1960. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That all citizens who will have reached the age of twenty-one years on or before September 15, 1960, or who did not vote in 1958, or who have recently moved within the State, or who have moved into the State of California within the past year are hereby called upon to seek out a place of registration of voters and to register their qualifications as voters between now and September 15, 1960, the date of closing registration; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That Santa Ana citizens who have moved into this State since September 15, 1959, are called upon to go personally to the County Clerk's Division of Voters Registration of Orange County, at 319 West Fifth Street in Santa Ana, California, and there register to be permitted to vote in the coming Election on the question of selecting Presidential Electors and to so have a voice in the selection of the Chief Executive of our nation. The public is informed that new Amendments allow citizens of the United States over twenty-one years of age, who have been residents of California for less than one year on September 15, 1960, to make special registration to vote for Presidential Electors, and it appears to said Council that this information has not been widely disseminated among our new resident citizens and should be called to their attention. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That all persons not presently regis- tered should so qualify themselves without delay, should study the candidates, their political philosophies, the reasonableness and desirability of their campaign statements and pledges, and should then on Election Day go to the polls and vote as their judgment may then dictate. -1-
