NEW OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER AS URBAN COUNGIL ELECTORS
Electoral Registration Cycle Begins To-day
Registration of voters for the March 1975 Urban Council elections
begins today (Friday).
Those entitled to vote in the elections but who have not yet
registered have another opportunity to have their names included in the
Urban Council Electoral Register.
The new list of electors will be compiled during the four-month
period starting today. The compilation of the new register will be in two
stages.
During the first stage, people who are qualified as electora under
one of the 23 categories of the Urban Council Franchise, but who have not
previously registered, can apply by post to have their names included in the
new register,
The applications must be sent to the Registration Officer, Urban
Council Elections, Mr. Jack Mitchell, Registration of Persons Department,
Head Office, 4th floor, Causeway Bay Magistracy Building, Hong Kong. It is
from these postal applications that a Provisional Register will be compiled
between June 16 and August 15, 1974.
Electors whose names appear in the current Final Register of
Mectors published in January last year need not apply again since their
names will be carried forward to the new Register. However, they should
keep the Registration Officer informed of any changes in their business
or residential addresses.
