Concerning the Enrolment of Electors.

Every person, male or female, not specially di^qualiliod by crime, luuacy, etc, who is 21. years old or upwards, and has been. 12 months in the colony and 3 months in the district, uiay register as an elector atid vote at i'arii;imontary aud licensing elections. Every such person should ascertain for his or her self whether his or her name is upon the electoral roll, and if not then apply to ti'.e Uegi-trar personally or by post to have it put in there. The Registrar will supply the necessary form to fill up, sign, and bo signed by any witnesa who is also an elector" in the district. If you do uot know whether you are on the roil and can not cnveniently find out, send in your claim to be enrolled, and the Registrar will see whether you are already enrolled. At every Parliamentary election, any elector who does not vote is then struck off the roll, and needs to apply to be put on a(Tain. Names are not struck off for not voting at the election of Licensing Commit tees. Sometimes mistakes occur, and names get struck off, which should liot be, so that everyone should make quite sure that his or her name is on the roll. Tho roll at present in force can be seen by anybody at the Registrar's office. When a person applies by means of the necessary form to be put on the supplemen tary roll, and the application is received by the* Registrar, he sends to that person through the post office, a registered letter, informing him that he has been enrolled. If you do not receive such a letter atter sending in your application, you must cou clude that" there has been some mistake and that you hive not been enrolled, and go or write to the Registrar's office and enquire about it and see that you get carolled.

When the electoral boundaries are al tered, as has just been done, and fresh rolls are made out for the now areas, mis takes are apt to arise, and everyone should therefore be specially careful to S6e that hi 3 name is kept on the roll for the naw area within which he resides, or see that it is put on.. The roll should also be care fully scanned for persons whose names are kept on for that new area, but ought not to be, and for persons who have died or per manently removed from the district, or otherwise bet-ome disqualified, and satis factory evidence be given to the Registrar of the facts whatever they may be, that the names of such persons may be removed. No one may be registered in more than one district at the same time.

On removing from one district to another a person may be transferred from tbat dis trict roll to the other, aftor residing one month in the new district. The Registrar will give you a transfer form. Claims must be signed with full name and address in presence of a Registrar, Deputy Registrar, Postmaster, Justice of the Peace, or elector of the district. A claim must be signed by the person's own hand, or if unable to write, attested by a Justice of the Peace, Postmaster, or Regis- An absentee who is-on the roll, must have resided in the district at least six days separately or continuously within the pre cpding six months to be qualified to vote, After alteration of boundaries the Regis trar must make out from the previous roll and existing applications for enrolment, a new roll, including on the new roll of a given district all who are within its new boundaries. Where no change' of boun daries is made, the existing roll is deemed to be the new roll. When the new roll for the new boundaries is gazetted, it is thereby constituted the roll for the district for all purposes, but this does not happen till tho last session of the existing Parliament closes. It is made the duty of the Registrar to make tho roll as complete as possible, by adding to it the name of every person of whose qualification he is satisfied, and as suring himself of tne right of every person to have his name retained upon the roll.

If the Registrar is not satisfied about any applicant's claim, he may tike five days to enquire into it, and if satisfied, must with in that time place the applicants name on the roll. If not satisfied he must within tho five days cause notice in writing to by given to tb.n applicant, sotting forth tho particulars of which proof is required. If not satisfied within twenty-one days the applicant must be summoned to make good his claim at the Magistrate's Couro. If he fails to appeal 1 his claim will be disallowed. If the Registrar fails to appear then the claimant's name must be placed on the roll.

If theßeg'ebrar objot3 to any persons name continuing on the roll, he must give written notice of the grounds of objectiou to the person. Any person whose name is on the roll may object to any other person's name being retained on it by giving the Registrar notice in writing on a specified form, set ting forth the grounds of his objection. If the Registrar thinks the grounds reason able he must give notice to the person and state the grounds. If the person objected to does not within fifteen days after the notice cause his name to be removed from the roll or satisfy the Registrar that he is entitled to have it re tained, he may be summoned to prove his claim in the Magistrate's > Court If he fails to appear his name will be struck off, If the Registrar fails to appear the name will not be struck off.

A notice of objection may not be enter tained if it is not served on the person sufficiently early to admit of its being determined by a resident Magistrate, before the issuing of a writ . for an election, in which case the name may not be removed from the roll.

Any magistrate, however, may hold a special sitting at any time, not later than four days after the issue of a writ, bufc only for hearing and enquiring into new claims tho Registrar may have received within the last fifteen days before the issue of a writ; and the approved claimants must be en rolled on an extra supplementary roll.

If the person objected to when sum moned gives notice to the Registrar that li 9 consents to his uame being removed, or states his consent to the magistrate in Court, the case will not be proceeded with further, and no costs will be incurred by such person. The magistrate may also authorise the addition or removal of names when the requisite proof is afforded by the Registrar or any other person, with or without notice to the persons concerned. Excepting between the issue of a writ and the completion of an election, the Registrar must at any time remove from the 3roll the name of anyone who requests it in writing; of anyone on the annual cer tified list of deaths ; of anyone on the illegal and corrupt practices list; of anyone convicted of specified offences ; of anyone whose registration in another district is notified to him by its Registrar; and_ of ;myone who is shown by the Returning Officer's certified electoral roll not to have voted at the last preceding Parliamentary election. But if the Registrar is satisfied that any name has been expunged from the roll by mistake, clerical error, or false information, he may restore it at any time after the issue of the writ, not later than ton clear days before the poll. Excepting the names of new claimants in the fifteen days preceding the issuing of the writ, which are approved and ordered to be added by the magistrate, the Regis trar is liable to a penalty not exceeding £20 for every name he adds to or removes from the roll between tho issue of the writ and the polling, n'hether of his own accord or any order of a magistrate, apparently notwithstanding that the Act says ho may add or remove names after the issue of the writ in order to correct errors.

(The Registrar must remove from the roll any person proved to his satisfaction to have left the district, and need not summon the person to Court, but not until six months have expired, or until a registered electoral notice-letter is returned by the Tost Office, unless the retention of the

name is objected to, aud the objection sus tained, when it must be removed forthwith. The name of anyone absent from the colony twelve months must be removed from the roll, thongh not objected to. The names of electors struck off the roll, mu4 bo publicly exhibited on a board out side the Registrar's office for at least one month. The roll of every district must be kept in duplicate at some convenient office. Any person desirous of inspecting the roll is entitled to do so, without any pay ment, on each day of the week during office hours, aud may have a written copy of it, or any portion of it, at 6d for every 72 words.

At the same office, any person may simi larly inspact all claims of persons to be registered, whose names have not yet been added to the roll.

A copy of any printed general roll and its supplementary rolls may be had for one shilling. Except in towns where the duplicate copies are kept, there must be kept at each Post Office a printed copy for public inspec tion.

Every person who knowingly or wilfully makes a false statement in any claim, ap plication, certificate, or declaration, is liable to a penalty of .£2O, or three months' im prisonment. Any person who wilfully misleads any Registrar in the compilation of the elec toral roll or wilfully inserts or causes to be inserted therein any false or fictitious name or qualification, or the name of any dead person, knowing him to be dead, is liable for every such offence to a penalty not exceeding ,£SO The Registrar must notify all persons whose claims are sent in after the printing of the general roll that they have been duly enrolled.

Any Registrar who strikes off the name of any elector on any roll in consequence of the redistribution of electorates shall as soon as convenient give notice of his having done so to the Registrar of the ad joining electorate in which the elector is now resident.

When a woman on the roll marries and so changes hor name, if she applies in the prescribed form before the writs arejissued and the Registrar is satisfied of the vali dity of the application, he shall substitute her Jmarried name for that on the roll. But if the application is not made or not complied with before the issue of the writs she may vote |in right of her former name as appearing on the roll. Deputy Returning Officers may vote as electors in the districts^for which they are enrolled.

The Registrar, who strikes any name off a roll because the person did not vote at the preceding election of a Parliamentary representative, must send to the person a notice of the fact on a prescribed form. '

To enable the Registrar to make the roll as complete as possible, all members of the police force, postmasters, clerks of Court, and registrars of old age pensions are enjoined at the request of the registrar to assist him by informing him of the name of any person who they have reason to believe is qualified to be enrolled but is not enrolled, or is enrolled, but is not qualified, and members of the Police Force are also enjoined to assist by making en quiries, collecting information, and other wise as the Registrar requests

Any Registrar who refuses or neglects to enrol any person making application un less for some valid object is liable to a penalty of ten pounds. Any one whose name has been removed from the roll on account of absence from the colony, or not having voted, is not to be deemed to have ceased from residence in the District if absent from the colony on public business ; or though 'not on public business, if his absence does not exceed three years from the date of his removal from the roll, and ha has not permanently left the colony and established his resi dence elsewhere. Whilst absent from the colony or at any time within three months after his return he may be enrolled in the District for which he possessed the resi dential qualification when his name was removed from the roll.

If through failure of duty of any Re turning Officer, Deputy Returning Officer, or Registrar, the name of any elector is wrongfully retained erased from the roll after a parliamentary election, such officer is liable to a penalty not exceeding ,£lO.

Seamen, shearers (including musterera for shearing), and commercial travellers, may obtain electoral rights to qualify them for votingl, full information of which will be supplied by the Registrar. Every person who signs the name of any other person whether requested to do so or not, or any false or fictitious name, to any form of claim, application, or objection, either as claimant, applicant, or objector, or as witness, or signs his own name as witnesa to any signature upon any such forms of claim, application, or objection, without having seen such signature written, or without hearing the person signing de clare the signature to be his own and signed of his own proper name is liable for every such offence to a penalty not exceeding .£SO.

We conclude with a caution There have always been many unofficial persons inter ested in getting people's names upon the rolls, who canvas from housa to house with enrolment forms. Some do this from im partial and pure motives but not all. It has sometimes happened that such persons having obtained a quantity of signed claims have consulted with their friends about tho persons who have signed and have then destroyed the claims of those who were of the wrong political or local option colour instead of giving them to the Registrar. S) that persons have fancied themselves placed on the roll, and on the day of poll ing discovered that they were not, and therefore could not vote.

If you do not know the unofficial canvas ser take the form and tell hiu> you will post it to vthe Registrar yourself.

If he has already had your claim see for yourself that your name is on the roll or send in another claim, to the Registrar.

If you do not know whether you are on the roll it will not be unlawful to send in another claim, provided it is in the same District, as the Registrar will see that your name is not put on twice over. But " donfc be had " by anybody. Edward Walker Please cut this out, for it will not appear

TUSSICURA, THE GREAT THROAT AND LUNG HEALER. "TVfO greater foolishness can be imagined _i3l than the neglect of those triviaL ail ments to which every person is liable, and which frequently develop into serious disease. While there exists a remedy like TUSSICURA, which reaches the very seat of the trouble and renders dangerous developments impossible, there is no reason why Consumption, Pleurisy, and Pneumonia should obtain a hold on the system, but at the same time the danger of delay is so evident that it should be unnecessary to emphasise its importance. Remember, TUSSICURA will cure the worst cough or cold immediately and permanently. Price 2s 6d per bottle. Sole Proprietor and Manufacturer IS. J. Evans, Dunedin-.
