Honorable Clinton Almond
Prosecuting Attorney
Jefferson County
Hillsboro, Missouri

Dear Mr. Almond:

Recently you wrote this office and your letter in part asked:

"May the County Clerk of Jefferson County, a County adjoining St. Louis County deputize the City Clerk of Fenton as a Deputy County Cleric for the Registration of Voters?"

Subsequently, Mrs. Eleanor Rehm, County Clerk of Jefferson County, called and explained that Fenton, St. Louis County, Missouri, was much more convient for some residents of Jefferson County and that she would prefer to establish a voter registration office in Fenton.

In answer to your question we direct your attention to Section 114.090, RSMo Supp. 1965, which in part states:"

The county clerk shall designate additional places of registry in the county, and supervise the registration of voters at such additional places of registry. * * *"

Clearly Section 114.090, supra., would limit registration offices to the subject County and would not permit such offices to be Maintained in St. Louis County.

Very truly yours,

Norman H. Anderson
Attorney General
