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.
