There will be contests in all four Maori electorates. There are thirteen candidates, as compared with sixteen in 1022, as follow:— MAORI SEATS. Northern Maori— Tau Henare* p t . Ripi Wihongi j^ Hone Wi Kaitaia i! Eastern Maori— Hon. A. T. Xgata* X. Hone Mokena L # Western Maori— Sir Maui Pomare* p>. Rangi Moffatt L. T. Barton I, Southern Maori— H. W. Uru* R ■T. T. Pataki '..".. r. T. M. Erihana ], W. T. Pitama .*. f. Tuiti Macdonald I. Members of the last Parliament are denoted by an asterisk. The districts are very extensive, and there are 454 polling booths, 185 in the western district, 132 in the eastern district, 101 in the northern, and 36 in the southern. The local booth will 'be at the Xative Land Court. The method of conducting a poll in Maori electorates differs from that in European electorates, in that no roll is used, and in that there is a different system of recording- votes. The qualification in the case of a Maori is bona fide residence within an electoral district, and there is no provision for absentees voting outside their own electorate. The registration of a Maori or half-caste on a European roll, on the fact of his having been registered and having voted at a European election within the preceding 12 months, disqualifies him from voting at the Maori election. Maori electors are required to enter the polling booth one by one. The voters name, tribe, hapu, and place of residence are asked and written on the ballot paper by the deputy returning officer, and then he is asked for which candidates ho wishes to vote. The name of the favoured candidate is written on the ballot paper by the deputy returning officer, who signs the paper, his signature being witnessed by his associate. Natives are prohibited from being served with liquor on polling day. Section IS6 of the Legislature Act, 1908, provides:—lt .shaJl not be lawful to sell or supply to any Maori any intoxicating liquor on the day on which any election is held for a Maori electoral district, and every person who commits a breach of thi- provision shall be liable to a fine not exceeding the pounds.
