The Christchurch “Press” common Ling yesterday, says the simplified method for recording the votes oT absentee voters, which came into lone for tbe first time on Wednesday, operated in a rather unexpected manner. Under tbe method previously in voouc absent voters' permits were issued to voters who were an ay sonic considerable distance from the electorale in which they were qualified to vote so fur away that it was practieullv imjxissible for them to be pre.s.oit ill tbe ■•lei tonne to exercise their vote. |n simplifying the method the legislature e( identic con loin plated that ill,, new process would he resorted 1" in circumstances ot a similar character. The manner in which the new procedure was used in Christchurch yesterday threw a considerable amount of extra work on the poll clerks. An elector of Christchurch North, for instance. finding it was more convenient for him to record bis vote in Christchurch South, made application at a Christchurch South polling booth for an absent voter's permit. This sort of thing threw a tremendous amount of extra work on tile deputies, much of which was unnecessary, and was due to the disinclination of voters to go to the trouble of attending at one of the booths in their own electorates.
