*****

RESIDENTS IN THE URBAN AREAS WILL HAVE THEIR LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER FOR NEXT YEAR'S URBAN COUNCIL ELECTIONS.

THE ELECTIONS WILL BE CONDUCTED ON A CONSTITUENCY BASIS NEXT MARCH WHEN THE TERMS OF OFFICE OF ALL SERVING ELECTED MEMBERS ARE DUE TO EXPIRE.

+THOSE WHO WISH TO VOTE OR STAND AS A CANDIDATE AT THE ELECTIONS, BUT HAVE NOT YET BEEN REGISTERED AS AN ELECTOR BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY WERE ABSENT FROM HONG KONG, MAY NOW MAKE A LATE APPLICATION,+ SAID THE REGISTRATION OFFICER, MR C.W. WONG.

HE SAID THAT FROM FRIDAY (OCTOBER 29) TO DECEMBER 6, ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS CAN CALL AT THE REGISTRATION AND ELECTORAL OFFICE, COMPLETE A REGISTRATION FORM AND LODGE IT IN PERSON WITH THE REGISTRATION OFFICER. THIS WILL NOT TAKE MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES,

DURING THIS PERIOD, A COMPLETE PROVISIONAL REGISTER OF ELECTORS IN TEN URBAN AND EIGHT NEW TERRITORIES DISTRICTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION AT THE FOLLOWING OFFICES:-

MR WONG SAID ONE REASON FOR PUBLICISING THE REGISTER WAS TO ENABLE ANY OBJECTIONS TO BE RAISED AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE NOT ENTITLED TO BE REGISTERED OR WHO HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED IN THE CONSTITUENCY WHERE THEY LIVE.

OBJECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE ON A SPECIFIED FORM OBTAINABLE FROM THE REGISTRATION AND ELECTORAL OFFICE AND LODGED IN PERSON WITH THE REGISTRATION OFFICER. THE OBJECTIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE REGISTRAR, SUPREME COURT IN HIS CAPACITY AS THE REVISING OFFICER.
