SUNDAY, MAY 15, 1983

A SPOKESMAN FOR THE REGISTRATION AND ELECTORAL DIVISION EXPLAINED THAT THE POLL CARDS OF QUITE A FEW THOUSANDS OF THE 904 916 ELECTORS ON THE REGISTER WERE RETURNED BY THE POST OFFICE.

+THIS COULD BE FOR ONE OF A NUMBER OF REASONS. SOME OF THE ELECTORS MIGHT HAVE CHANGED ADDRESS SINCE THEY WERE FIRST REGISTERED SOME MIGHT HAVE EMIGRATED OR HAVE PASSED AWAY, AND SOME MIGHT HAVE MADE CLERICAL ERRORS IN THEIR APPLICATION FORMS. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THE MISTAKES WERE MADE WHEN THE INFORMATION WAS FED INTO THE COMPUTER.

+THE NUMBER OF POLL CARDS RETURNED BY THE POST OFFICE WAS SMALL IN PERCENTAGE TERMS, BUT WE ARE ANXIOUS THAT THE REGISTER SHOULD BE KEPT AS CORRECTLY AS PRACTICABLE, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.

IT WILL BE A SIMPLE MATTER TO REPLY TO THE ENQUIRY LETTERS, ALL THAT THE ELECTOR NEEDS TO DO IS TO COMPLETE THE STANDARD REPLY FORM ATTACHED TO THE LETTER AND RETURN IT BY POST BEFORE THE STIPULATED DEADLINE. IF THE REPLY IS NOT RECEIVED BY THEN, THE ELECTOR'S NAME WILL BE DELETED FROM THE REGISTER.

ANYONE WHO IS A REGISTERED VOTER AND DID NOT RECEIVE HIS OR HER POLL CARD FOR THE LAST ELECTIONS IS REQUESTED TO TELEPHONE THE REGISTRATION AND ELECTORAL DIVISION AT 5-270369 OR 5-270380.
