Declaration On Polls To Be Made Next Week
WELLINGTON, March 14. A declaration of the result of the polls on licensing and off-course betting, will not be given before next week, though it is expected that the official count .would be completed by the end of this week. Returns of absentee and postal totes are still being received at the chief electoral office and these indicated that there will probably be an average of at least 500 such votes in each electorate. One electorate reached nearly 1000. Postal and absentee votes were fewer than expected. The time taken for mail to reach the electoral office from isolated areas is another reason for the unavoidable delay in the completion of the final results.
