Nome Voters
Cast Record
866 Ballots
A record vote of 856 ballots
were cast here yesterday in the
general election. There are also
125 absentee ballots to be counted.
As there are 700 children in
school and an estimated 500 pre
school children and infants, it
would leave only about 100 per
sons in the community who did
not vote. And some of these
could not meet the voting qualifi
cations. This gives Nome a very
high voting percentage.
The election board worked all
night tabulating the returns here
and resumed their work this
afternoon on the bonding proposi
tions.
