ELECTORAL ENROLMENT.
Enrolment for electoral purposes is now compulsory. It is being carried out by the Post Office for the Registrar of Electors. A special form is provided for enrolment and these will be sent out to Foxton electors during the present week. Every eligible man or woman who is not on the new electoral roll by March 6th next will be liable to a fine of five shillings, with the prospect of subsequent lines of 20/- if the offence is continued or repeated. Evevry person who is 21 years of age ought to ascertain whether he or she is eligible for enrolment. It has to he borne in mind that this is a matter of compulsory registration and it will be unwise to ignore the duty which the State has placed upon electors to enrol as the delinquent is bound to be caught sooner or later, there being several Government Departments so co-related that the omission may quite easily be discoverable in the most unlooked for manner. Those who are 21 must he 12 months in the Dominion and must he three months in a particular district before being eligible.
