DATES: i 1960.
ARRANGEMENT: Numerical by district number, thereunder alphabetical by first letter of voter's surname.

DESCRIPTION: These booklets provide a list of registered voters in Wasatch County for the primary and general elections of 1960. There is a booklet for each election district in the county and records the voter's name, date of registration, ballot number, age, and state of birth. The clerk compiled the official from a list of all voters who voted at least once in the past two years. Voters were required by state law to register before being permitted to vote.

Voters registered with the county clerk, or, if within a month before the election, with a registration agent appointed by the board of county commissioners. The registration agents updated the register and turned it over to the election judges to record ballot numbers on the day of election. The register was then returned to the county clerk for comparison when canvassing the election. Thereafter, the register was to be filed in the clerk's office for use in preparing a new register for the next election. The retention schedule calls for keeping a sample of registers for years ending in six. Other years' would be discarded. As those from 1956 were missing, those from 1960 were retained.
