Here's What To Expect When You Go To Vote
The Kansan who plans to vote for the first time in the coming primary on August 7 would probably like to know what to expect when he enters his precinct polling place.
If the voter lives in an area where registration is required, the election officials will first check the registration list to see that the voter is properly registered.
Friday, Aug. 1, 1958
The officials will then ask the voter to choose the party ballot that he wants. He may have only one. The voter's choice of ballots at this time constitutes his declaration of party affiliation.
Election officials then record the voter's name and party affiliation on a poll book. At future primaries when the voter gives his name, the election officials will refer to this poll book and hand him the ballot of the party noted after his name
This declaration is permanent unless the voter changes it or moves to another precinct. He may change his party affiliation at any time except during the 30 days immediately preceding a primary. This is done by filing a written declaration with the county clerk, who will record the change of affiliation on the poll book before the primary takes place.
When the voter enters the voting booth with his ballot he proceeds to mark it in accordance with instructions printed on the face of the ballot. When no names appear under an office, a blank line will be provided and the voter may write in the name of the person of his choice. But if at least one name appears under an office, no write-in is permitted for that office in the primary.
In addition to the governmental officials that the voter helps to nominate at the primary, he also votes for certain party officers. The same ballot is used for both purposes.
One precinct committeeman and one precinct committeewoman are elected in each precinct by the votes cast in the party primary. Regardless of the number of candidates appearing on the ballot for the posts, a blank line is provided to permit write-in votes for the office because the precinct officers are actually elected in the primary.

The voter then pushes a handle in front of him to the right until a bell sounds. This action closes the curtains around the machine, affording the voter complete privacy.
Wyandotte County voters will use voting machines for the first time in this year's primary. The voter must state his party choice or affiliation and an election official will set the machine so that only candidates of the party chosen may receive votes.
After marking the ballot, the voter deposits it in the ballot box, and his role in the nominating process is completed.
Before attempting to cast his ballot in this manner, the voter should read carefully the instructions printed upon the voting machine.
The candidates are listed under their respective offices upon the face of the machine. In order to vote for the candidates of his choice, the voter must pull down
the individual lever located above the name of each candidate. This will make visible the familiar "x" mark over the name of each person for whom a vote is cast. After he has completed his selection, the handle which closed the curtains is pulled to the left. This registers the vote, returns the levers to their original positions, and opens the curtains. A secret ballot is thus assured.
Anyone's right to vote may be challenged at the polls by another elector present, by the election judges, or by party workers appointed for this purpose. If the challenge is made upon grounds that the person is constitutionally unqualified, the person may be required to take an oath; then the election officials will decide the question at once.
A voter may be challenged on the ground that he is not a member of the party that he claims. In this case, the challenged voter must sign an affidavit affirming that he is affiliated with the party in question. He must also swear that he has not signed nominating petitions for any independent candidate or for candidates of another party.
