I'm not a lawyer, so read for yourself:

The law goes on to state:
Requisite value necessary to vote determined without reference to existence of mortgage on the property; where husband and wife are joint owners, each is entitled to vote if assessed value is not less than $2,000; history of statute reviewed. 19 CS 234. Cited. 43 CS 297-302, 307, 309, 313.
GREAT LAW!!
