13,000 ALREADY RE-REGISTERED AS URBCO ELECTORS
*****
A total of 13,000 people have so far re-registered as Urban
Council electors.
This amounts to more than a third of the 37,788 people on the
current electoral roll who have been sent forms by registered post to
enable them to re-register as voters.
The re-registration of electors is carried out at least once
every six years to ensure that the electoral roll is kept up to date.
The second Sexennial Inquiry, which is now taking place, began two
weeks ago when notices were sent out to electors on the current register.
The number of returns received so far shows a big improvement
compared with the first Sexennial Inquiry in 1966.
At that time the number of people who were re-registered
during the first two weeks totalled only 4,700, out of a figure of
29,529 on the electoral roll who had been sent the statutory notices of
sexennial inquiry.
A spokesman for the Registration of Persons Department
today urged people who had not yet-registered to do so as soon as
possible.
