July 2.—Regis' tration of voters in Nevada county has dromped 21 per cent since the general election of 1940, according to the report cr registration made by R. N. MeCormack, count clerk, to the secretary of state. In 1940, when ihe last general election was. helt. soOore were 11,770. registered voters in this county, and in June of this year the total was 9,242. Population of the county durins the two year reriod, has shown a decrease of 6.7 per cent. For the most part, the drop in registration is attributable to cancellation of registration following the general elections held two years ago. Under the California permanent registration law, it is pointed out, the county clerk is required, immediately after the completion of canvas of returns following the November general election, to consult the absentee voter list, and the roster of voters ‘in the August primary and November general elections preceding, and , to cancel all regjstrations for which ‘there has not been a vote cast. Permanent registration is permanent only so ‘long as registered voters vote, in either one, or both, of these two elections held in the even numbered years. .
