HOW TO VOTE.
(T« the Editor.) Sir,—ln your issue of this morning yon say that "the burgess MUST put a cross" against the name. of the candidate he wishes to vote for. Perhaps you will be good enough to state whether this is absolute ; and whether a paper marked, as at Parliamentary elections, by striking out the names not wanted, will be reckoned as a valid vote, or declared informal?—l am, etc., G. 11. MAUNDER. [So long as the voter plainly indicates his preference, the voting paper is valid. The Act says: "No voting paper shall be rejected as informal that clearly indicates the candidate or candidates for whom the voter intends to vote, whether such indication is made ill the manner prescribed or by striking out the names of the candidate or candidates for whom the voter-did not intend to vote."]
