Prior to any local body election or loan poll official notification is always given that the electors’ roll is open for inspection at the office of the local authority. It is the duty of electors to inspect this roll and ensure that their names are correctly entered thereon, but it is obvious that this is seldom done. An electors’ roll is a copy of the local authority’s valuation roll, and while an entry thereon may be good enough for most purposes it may not be sufficient to justify the issue of voting papers without a great deal of trouble. For example, an association, company, or trustees may have a vote by producing a signed and sealed resolution, but this trouble could be obviated by having a representative’s name inserted on the roll. While it is perhaps desirable that such bodies as church trustees and sports clubs should leave local politics to those more interested, the case of partnerships and companies is different, and an interview with the returning officer’ is always desirable.
