An air of friendliness and goodwill prevailed at all booths voters wasting no time in tendering their votes. Those who requlre i't, are receiving all the help and attentioh possible from the polling officers. There were the inevi table few who arrived to find that their names were not on the roll. in many cases this was due to ihe fact that they had neglected to make sure their names were still registered after the changes had been made in the electoral Jjoundaries.
