The Chronicle. PUBLISHED DAILY MONDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1911. ELECTION POINTS.

Tiif, regulations in regard to the forthcoming elections are drastic, and they require to ho thoroughly understood. It is unlawful after to-day to issue any facsimiles of ballot papers w instructions how to vote, and all such guide papers must bo destroyed on the evening of today by thoio having them in their possession. Voters must bear in mind that the method to be used at the poll is the cancelling system. The name of every candidate for whom the eiector does not wish to vote must bo struck out by drawing a line through it with a pen or pencil, and the mi mo of the can didate chosen left untouched. If the name of more than one candidate is left uncancelled the voting paper is rendered invalid. To th'e licensing issues the method of cancellations ilso applies. The national option paper is coloured yellow; both papers are placed in the same box, but they arc counted separately. The issues are clearly and distinctly stated, and should minimise the risk of informalities.
