LOCAL AND GENERAL.

•••Register! Register! Every person, entitled to vote at the coming election should lose no time in making sure that his or her name is on the roll. Further, as part of Wanganui is now in the Patea electorate, and as changes of residence have also affected many people’s voting rights, they should also make sure that their names are on the right rolls.
