POLL CARDS ISSUED FOR MARCH 8 URBAN COUNCIL ELECTION

***

POLL CARDS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO FACILITATE THE SPEEDY ISSUE OF BALLOT PAPERS TO VOTERS ON URBAN COUNCIL ELECTION DAY, THURSDAY, MARCH 8 ARE IN THE POST TODAY (TUESDAY).

EACH CARD BEARS THE VOTER'S ELECTRAL NUMBER, HIS NAME AND THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE POLLING STATION AT WHICH HE IS REGISTERED TO VOTE.

THE REGISTRATION OFFICER, MR. KUO KET-CHEN SAID 31,481 POLL CARDS WERE POSTED.

HE REMINDED VOTERS THAT TO VOTE WITH THE MINIMUM OF DELAY, THEY SHOULD PRODUCE THEIR POLL CARDS AND IDENTITY CARDS TO THE STAFF AT THE POLLING STATIONS.

HE ADDED THAT IF AN ELECTOR IS UNABLE TO PRODUCE HIS POLL CARD, HE IS STILL ENTITLED TO VOTE IF HIS NAME IS ON THE FINAL REGISTER OF ELECTORS AND HE IS ABLE TO IDENTIFY HIMSELF TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE PRESIDING OFFICER.

+BUT THIS WILL NO DOUBT CAUSE INCONVENIENCE TO THE ELECTOR HIMSELF,+ MR. KUO SAID.

IF VOTERS HAVE MOVED THEIR RESIDENCES AND HAVE NOT NOTIFIED THE REGISTRATION OFFICER OF THE CHANGE, IT IS LIKELY THEIR POLL CARDS WILL BE RETURNED TO THE REGISTRATION OF PERSONS OFFICE.

ANY PERSON WHO DOES NOT RECEIVE HIS POLL CARD WITHIN THREE DAYS SHOULD CONTACT MR. LI KENG-HE1 AT TELEPHONE NO. 5-769567 SO THAT A POLL CARD CAN BE DELIVERED TO HIM.

ENQUIRIES ALSO MAY BE MADE CALLING ON MR. LI AT 4 SUNNING ROAD, KA CHEONG BUILDING, SEVENTH FLOOR, CAUSEWAY BAY, HONG KONG.
