THOUGHTS OF THE TIMES.
ABSENT VOTERS. An elector who is absent from his electoral district on election day, and is within reach of a polling-booth any- , where outside the district for which j he is registered, may vote as an absent voter during the hours of polling upon satisfying the deputy returning officer that lie is unable to record 'his vote as an ordinary elector in liis own electorate. He then simply makes a written declaration, on a form provided, as to the name of the electoral district on whose roll he is registered, and that he is entitled to vote as an elector of that district. The correct electoral district must be stated, otherwise his vote will be disallowed. A ballot-paper is handed him containing the names of the candidates for his own electorate. He then marks the paper in a voting compartment, folds and returns it to the deputy returning officer, who, in the presence of the voter, encloses it in an envelope, wdiich, after sealing, he encloses in a second envelope, together with the application for a ballot-paper, and posts it forthwith to the returning officer of the district for which the vote is exercised.
