Contrary to expectations the writs for the general election were not issued today, but they will probably go out tomorrow, in which case enrolments and the issue of absent voters' permits will pease at 6 p.m. The electoral officials express the opinion that rolls have been thoroughly revised and completed. The automatic purging by process of electors applying for enrolment in different electoral districts lias been very considerable this year. It is always oil an extensive scale, the number of names struck off the main rolls in the year prior to the 1!M)8 election owing to removals or by transfers totalling CiO.fi7(i. In the 11)08 general election 537,003 electors were entitled to vote. Last year this total decreased by over 82,000. but enrolments have been steadily going on. The grand total is expected to reach a figure considerably in excess of that of three years ago.
