THE ELECTION ROLLS

AN INTERESTING RETURN COMPARATIVE FIGURES 'An interesting return has been prepared by the Electoral Department setting forth the number' of voters on every electoral roll in 1911, the numbor of votes recorded at last election, and the number of voters on tho new rolls. 111 many cases the rolls for this year aro bigger than those for 1911. In every "singlo electorate tho roll number for 1911 is considerably larger than tho number of votes recorded in 1911. The Chief Electoral Officer considers that tho rolls this year will prove to be more complete and generally more satisfactory as a result of the new methods followed in compiling them, than they have ever been in any previous election. ■ .
