Ex.awination of the Election Laws of Pennsylvania, and the. -.Rights andQuahlications of Elea tors—Wish a Review of the De- Cißio.l2B of the Supreme Court on Soldier Voting. In compliance with the request of r. committee of the election officers of this county, I have respectfully to submit the following report of the result of an mt amination of the General Election L:lws of Pennsylvania, ard the rights and qualifications of electors under those l laws. Constitutional Provisions. The let Section of Article 3d of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, provides tha "In elections by the citizens, every white freeman of the age of twetity:one years, having resided in this State one year, and in the election district where he offere to vote ten days immediately pre ceding such election, and witi t in two years pad a State or County tax, which shall have been assessed at least ten days before the election, shall enjoy the rights of an elector; but a citizen of the Milted States who had previously been a quali fied voter of this State, and removed teere from, and returned, and who shall have resided in the election district and paid taxes as aforesaid, shall be entitled to vote after residing in the. State ant months : Provided, That white freemen, citizens of the United States, between the ages of twenty one and twenty two years, and having resided in the State one year, and in the election district ten days as aforesaid, shall be entitled to vote, though they shall not have paid taxes." This is the organic and supreme la'w of elections in the Commonwealth, alld con fers upon the citizen who possesses .the qualifications it prescribes, a right to vote which no legislative power can either abridge or destroy. It is equally beyond the power of the Legislature to confer upon any man the right to vote, who is deficient in any of the defined qualifica tions. It wilt be se,ti, therefore, that a person entitled to vote must be n white male citizen of the Usited Suites, either natural born or naturalized, of the age of twenty one years or more, and must nave resid ed in the State one year. and in th:,; elec. tion district where he offers to vote, tan days immedia.ely preceding saris election, and within two years paid a Slate or County tax, which must Ita7e been as sessed ten days before the election ; en• less he be a citizen between the ages of 21 and 22 years. Such a citizen, having the qualifications may vote even though he has neither paid taxes nor been assess ed. The only exception to the above, relate 0, persons of foreign birth who possessed cc rtain qualifications previous to the 26th of March, 1790, which exceptions are now practicably obsolete. The qualifications of an elector, or per eon qualified to vote are so clearly set forth in the Constitution and the Act of 1839, that there can be little doubt of dif ficulty respecting the rights of the resi dent taxable native born citizens of the different election districts, to vote in those districts. The law is so plainly written that no man can mistake or misunder stand its meaning_ It says no person SHALL be permitted to vote unless he has the prescribed qualifications, and imposes severe penalties upon election officers for receiving votes from any person deficient in any of these qualifications. flights and qualifications of Soldiers and St rangers The question, therefore, most generally raised at the polls as to the qualifications of soldiers to vote in districts where they are only temporarily sojourning, stationed Or employed. And on the legal points involved in such cases, there is a wide spread misapprehension. Ten days so journ in an election district, in pursuance of ones lawful calling though it be, does not qualify a person to vote there unless ha is a bona fide resident of the district where he so offers to vote, and will make oath to that fact, and prove his residence there by at least one competent witness, who shall be a qualified elector, &c. It is important in this connection, to as certain the precise meaning of the word residence as used in the Constitution and laws with reference to the rights of suf frage. The Supreme Court in the case of Chase vs. Miller, define- the term "resi dence to be the same as domicil—a word which means the place where a man es tablishea his abode, makes the seat of his property and exercises his civil and po litical rights." In a strict legal sense, therefore, the residence of a man, within the meaning of the law, is where he has I his true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment, and to which whenever he is absent, he has the inten tion of returning—animus revertendi. It is more a question of intention than of constant bodily presence therein of the individual. He may indeed, be absent from home the greatest portion of the time, and yet preserve his residence and consequent right to vote at the place he adopt as his abode and to which he in tends to return. A man may be corporeally absent from his residence for ten days or more immediately before the election, and still return to his place of residence and vote on the very day of the election, legally and clearly within the meaning of the law. His right to vote exists only in that one district, and can exist nowhere else so long as the intention to reside there curium:les. The right to vote is dependent on the place of residence, and the resi dence of a man con only be at one place at a time. He can no more have the right to vote at two places at one time than he can vote twice at the same place. To admit that he could, would at once lead to all the evils, frauds and irregularities that the Legislature, in its wisdom, intended to prevent, S 7 Wood Street. Where Soldiers are Entitled to Vote. These obstryations apply with still greater force to our citizen soldiers while in the service of the State or of the United States. In the case of Chase vs. Miller 6 Wright's Penn'a Law Reports, page 08, in which the right of the soldiers to vote was thoroughly discussed and reviewed, in connection with the otherquestions at issue. in that case in regard to tne constitution ality of votes cast outside the limits of the State. In the syllabus of the case as re ported, occurs this plain proposition as to the place where soldiers are entitled to vote: " THE RIGHT OF A SOLDIER TO VOTE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, IS CONFINED TO THE ELECTION DISTRICT - WHERE HE RESIDED AT THE TIME OF HIS ENTERING THE MILITARY SERVICE," Y POST-ADVANCED RATES. One Year. by mail.— ....- 53 Or, Biz menthe.. " .... .. 4L. Three ••" , . _ '2 15 One •• .. . . . - 70 One week, delivered in tho eity......—..._ 18 To agenta per hundred .... ....... . e 1, BY A MEMBER OF THE HARRISBURG BAR. And in the opinion as delivered, it is said; "When a soldier returns to his election district, he resumes all the civil rights of citizenship, and his residence being unimpaired by his temporary etb• set ea, he has a right to vote on election day ; but under the Constitntion to which his fealty is due. he can acquire no right to vote elsewhere except by a change of res idence from 0716' district to another." - So long, therefore,-as a soldier contia• ties in the service of .the United States, tuffs right to vote is in the district where he resided when he endisted - orwas drafted, Unless ho has ..changed _his residence by actual removal of his domicil into another district, and Abandoned his residence in - the district from which lie removed, :Such removal ehould,, be evidenced. tho clearest proof of an intention to:.take upa new abode,- The changing of, residence of the wife and children of the soldier, or if a single-,man living with his parents,' the change of his parents' home or domi cil, might, for all the purpcses of voting be sufficient evidence, if sustained by the man's own oath, to entitle him to vote in a new district. But no mere rendezvous .- elf the military in:, a given district, or camp of instruction, will confer upon the eoldiers stationed there (it matters not how long they may remain,) the right of suf frage in the.' district. And it makes no . difference 2c.' her they are single or mar ried men. 'I an law draws no distinction between thesa classes of citizens in regard to voting qualifications. The Bights of Sick. Wounded and In. valid Soldiers. So, also, with the sick, wounded and disabled soldiers in oar hospitals and in• valid camps. Their sojourn at a particu lar place ' ( whether single or married inen,) does not constitute a residence within' the meaning and purview of the law, and does not qualify them to vote there. They are in the military service, temporarily sta tioned in a Certain district, under orders from their superior officers, and it cannot be said, without a palpable perversion of the meaning of plain words, that they are resident, within the intention and mean ing of the law. An indispensable element of suffrage is wanting in. such cases , that is, a bona gde residence- in the district. No election Board bas: the power to dis perse with that important qualification in an elector, and if he is deficient in it, his vote must not be received. And here it may be well to observe that, the Supreme Court never decided that soldiers could not vote, hut simply that ALL citizens— soldiers and civilians alike—must have the prescribed qualifications, and vote in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the State. And to do this. they must vote in their own appropriate home district, where their residence continues ;hroughout tlae term of their enlistment, unimpaired by their absence in the mili tary service. To allow them to vote elsewhere, would make the ballot-box an easy prey to fraud, and all its deplorable consequences. Strangers, having: no ac quaintance, interests or property in a county, could control its elections, and de feat the will of its propertrholding and resident citizens. And besides - that - , voters temporarily absent from their bana fide district resi dences could vote on a ten days' ataY in a new district, "in parsuance of their law fit calling,'" - and return ro their 11011tra, where they are assessed-and taxed as resi dent citizens, and again vote there, :with cut their right to vote being questioned or challenged ; thus penetrating dangerous frauds upon the ballot- box without fear of being apprehended. This the law never contemplated and never allowed. The evil tendency of each a wholesale license to rambling voters was long since fore seen, and hence the exactness and care-of the Legislature .and courts in requiring, as an indispensable qualification of auffrage, a bona fide and fixed residence in the dis trict where a man offers to vote. It has previously been shown, that no mere so journ or stay for ten or a hundred days will constitute such a residence as the law r squires. A voter who removes from one district to, another in the same county, within ten days immediately preceding the election, is entitled to vote in the district from which he removes. A person absent on business of the United States, or this State, does not lose his residence in consequence of such ab sence, and on his return to his last resi dence has a clear right to vote there. And in respect to citizens of other States, who may have been within the limits of this State one year or more, in pursuance of their lawful calling or otherwise, the law, as decided by the courts, is explicit. Such persona have no right to vote unless their residence in Pennsylvania was and is coupled with the intention to become citi zens thereof, and to abandon their citizen ship in other States. Such is the clearly written construction of the law by the highest judicial tribunal of the Commonwealth, and that construc• tion is decisive of the rights of soldiers to ' vote in their home districts, and nowhere else. It is binding upon all officers sworn to • execute the laws, as well as upon all persons within the limits of the Common wealth, and must be obeyed. Duties of Election Officers. Election officers, particularly, upon se vere penalties are imposed for the slightest wilful neglect of duty, in not following strictly the injunctions of the statute, are specially interested in questions touching the qualifications of electors, and for their information and guidance it is important to give the act of 1839, so far as it relates to the other classes of voters, a brief but careful examination. When a man offers to vote, the first in• quiry should be, is his name on the assess ment list? If it is, and his vote is not , questioned, it should be received. If, however, it is challenged, the inspectors should require him to make proof of his qualifications in the manner prescribed by law, (of which hereafter.) If the name or the person offering to vote is not on the list as returned by the commissioners or assessors, he shall not be permitted to vote, unless— " First, he produce a receipt for the pay ment within two years of a State or county tax assessed agreeably to the Constitution, and give satisfactory evidence either ou his own oath or affirmation, or oath or af firmation of another, that he has paid such a tax, or on failure to produce, a receipt, shall make oath to the payment thereof ; or, second, if he claim a right to vote by being an elector between the ages of twenty one and twenty two years, he shall depose on oath or affirmation that he has resided in the State at least one year next before his application, and make such proof of residence in. the district as is re quired by this act, and that he does verily believe, from the accounts given him, that he is of the age aforesaid, and give such other evidence as is required by this act; whereupon, the name of the person so ad mitted to - vote, shall be inserted in the alphabetical list by the inspectors, and a note made opposite thereto by writing the word 'tax,' if he shall be admitted to vote by reason of- having paid tax, or the word 'age,' if he shall be admitted- to vote on account of-his age,-and in either case the reason of su ch - moteshalilazalted out to -the 1 , 04% 540 thallitika. the like notes to th• list - of voters kept by them.
