OLD FORMS SENT OUT
Enrolment age “over 20” The Registrar of Electors (Mr R. A. Aitken) says that the age qualification on electoral enrolment forms should be ignored. He said yesterday that there were thousands of forms in circulation which said that persons over 21 were required to enrol; correctly only persons over 20 must enrol if they were eligible to vote. Mr Aitken said that after the change in the age of majority, in 1969, there were still thousands of the old electoral forms printed. Rather than waste these the chief electoral officer has instructed that they be issued for enrolments for the forthcoming elections.
