SOLDIERS' VOTES
ALLOCATION TO DISTRICTS. The -Parliamentary Representation (Expeditionary Forces) Bill, which is to be introduced by the Prime Minister, will provide for the allocation' of soldiers at at present on active service to the.electoral districts from which they enlisted. This measure is necessary in order that tlie soldiers, who form a substantial section of 'the voters, may bo reckoned in The calculations, that have to be made by the Electoral Commissioners for the revision of the electoral boundaries. The Commissioners are to begin their. work at an early date. . - In the event of a general election taking place before the return of the troops to New. Zealand provision' will bo made for recording the votes of the soldiers. It is improbable, however, 1 that any legislation bearing on thip point will bo introduced during the present session.
