(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Telegraphic orders to revise the list of Jewish voters who were deprived of their franchise in the Soviet elections were issued by the Central Soviet Election Committee to the local committees.
Charges were recently made that as result of the new Soviet electoral ordinance many Jewish peasants were deprived of their voting right. The instructions state that a revision is to be made with a view to enfranchising all who have been wrongly excluded.
