Advice to Women Electors
As there is some misconception existing among the women voters as to the course they have to adopt on polling day, we herewith publish the following instructions for their guidance in recording their votes to-mor-row:—!. An elector, on entering the polling booth, walks to the table where the returning officer is seated and calls out his or her name, adding (if known) the number on the electoral roll. 2. The returning officer then hands the elector a ballot paper, on which are printed the names (Christian and Surniraes) of the candidates in alphabetical order. 3. The elector then walks into one of the separate compartments and there finds a pencil provided. 4. With this pencil the elector strikes out the names of all those for whom he or she does not intend to vote, leaving absolutely untouched the name for whom he or she desires to vote. 5. Having so struck out the names of the persons for whom he or she does Dot desire to vote, the elector folds up the ballot paper and deposits it in a box wbich will be found near the returning officer.
