will break down or troublesome delays will occur if
the number of electors polling at one station is
excessive.
As we cannot accurately predict the number
of electors until registration is complete, I think
the best way of solving the difficulty would be by
selecting as polling stations where the number is
likely to be large, premises in which two rooms
would be available. If the number of electors for
the station proved to be unduly large the electors'
list for the area of the station could be split up
for streets A to K and L to Z and notices directing
the electors to the appropriate rooms posted outside.
Once the Municipal Electors Ordinance and
8.
other Ordinances become law, the Governor in Council
can consider and prescribe the form of application
for registration and this can be printed, together
with notices as to the qualifications of electors.
Places at which forms and notices will be
available to the public will have to be selected in
each ward.

Registration of non-Chinese electors will
not be so complicated.
The Municipal Area will form a single
constituency, but for the convenience of voters and
for limiting the number of voters to be polled at
any one polling station there should be half a dozen
polling stations, e.g. Causeway Bay, 2 Central,
University, Tsimshatsui, Argyle Street.
The non-Chinese electors will be registered
in alphabetical order.
