and uniform administration of laws enacted by the General

2

Assembly pursuant to this section."

DELEGATE KOSS : Mr. President and Delegate

4

Gleason, the reason that we put in this very explicit

5

language was that the present Constitution says that the

6

General Assembly shall provide by law for a uniform

7

registration of all the names of the voters, and so forth.

8

There was an abundance of evidence presented to our

9

committee that despite this uniform registration requirement

10

that, in fact, it was not uniform, and it was for this

11

reason that we felt it necessary to indicate that there be

12

an agent of the state that was so responsible.

13

THE PRESIDENT: I take it you would not accept

14

the change.

15

DELEGATE KOSS: That is correct.

16

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Gleason.

17

DELEGATE GLEASON: Is the delegate familiar

18

with the fact that the legislative counsel has recommended

19

a bill calling for the establishment of a State Administra-

20

tive Board of Election Laws.

21

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Koss.
