"Citizen interest is already ex- tremely high and promises to in- crease even more during the remaining weeks before the elec- tion. But interest alone is not enough.

The participation of ev- ery eligible citizen is a musl if representative government is to continue to have true meaning."

R. In a previous position paper in A which Agnew discussed election; reforms he had claimed that unfair and out'- moded" registration procedures' 1 in Maryland have, in "disenfranchised many citizens' who want to vote." He suggested at that time that; "Maryland's poor record of vo-; ter turnout and registration catcs that revisions and reforms'!" are mandatory." Today, Agnew again repeated his proposal for a State Board of Election Supervisors to oversee local boards. He also asked for new programs to assure efficient and convenient voter registration that would "remedy discrepan- cies between registration and population." Agnew expounded four ideas on how to revamp voting laws: --Require election offices tore- main open for a minimum of one regular business day each week to register voters. He said that in some rural counties the elec- tions office is open only a few days a year. --Provide frequent registration in public buildings and roving registrar teams in places far from the county seat or outlying sections of Baltimore City.
