166 Ga. 867 | Ga. | 1928
The judgment was not erroneous for any of the reasons assigned. Section 143 of the act of 1919 (Acts 1919, pp. 288, 346), known as the Code of School Laws, as amended by the act of 1921 (Acts 1921, pp. 221, 224), providing for elections in school districts and other municipal subdivisions to determine whether bonds shall issue to build and equip sehoolhouses, provides that “none but registered qualified voters shall be permitted to vote in said election.” Said section of the Code of School Laws as amended also provides that: “The tax-collector shall furnish a certified list of registered voters in such school district, . . to the managers of the election ten (10) days before such election is held.” Section 145 of the Code of School Laws, as amended by the act of 1921 (Acts 1921, pp. 221, 227), provides that: “The tax-collector shall furnish a certified list of registered voters . . in the territory to be alfected, to the managers of the election, ten days previous to said election, and after the same has been purged by the board of registrars as now provided by law in cases of special elections.” The act of 1911 (Acts 1911, p. 167), entitled “An act to prescribe the qualifications of voters for special elections,” etc., by section 2 thereof, providing for registration of voters to vote at a “special election,” imposes upon “the registrars” the duty to “purge the list of registered voters.” Other acts of the legislature relating to the registration of voters provide for the purging of registration books and lists of voters taken from the books to be delivered to- election managers, and impose the duty on county registrars to purge the books and lists of the names of all disqualified voters. It is nowhere provided that the duty of purging the lists of registered voters required to be furnished to the election managers shall be imposed upon the judges of the superior courts. Sec
Judgment affirmed.
