LAST CHANCE TO ENROL

SVPFLEVEHTABT UST.

CLOSES TO-MORROW AFTERNOON.

[ Qualified persons not registered by 6 p.m. to-morrow will not only forfeit their right to vote at the general election and on the licensing issues, but will be liable to prosecution, since it is an offence under the Electoral Act not to register. The supplementary rolls close on the hour of six, and applications received after that time will be disregarded. For the convenience of those who leave the performance of their obligation till the last minute—as so many busy people have a habit of doing—an officer responsible to the registrar of electors (Mr. Frank Evans) will collect all applications posted at the chief post office, Queen Street, up till six o'clock. Letters posted later than that hour will be too late, nor will-it avail to post applications from suburban miJ country offices. r

Only two classes of ~ people, whose names are not on the roll may vote on election day, November 14; firstly, those who have made application for registration, but whose names have been omitted owing to a clerical or typographical error, and, secondly, those whose names are on the rolls but have been scored out. Both must make statutory declarations. •
