Application for Registration to Vote

A Mississippi voter registration form from 1965 which includes a two-page questionnaire and samples from the Mississippi Constitution that would be used to prove the applicant can read. The form has a total of 21 questions, with many questions being intentionally convoluted with the intent of targeting and weeding out individuals. The bottom of the second page gives the applicant instructions on how to properly register to vote, implying that this application is a practice form.
