All urged to vote
PA Wellington The Minister of Justice (Mr Thomson), has urged all eligible voters to go to polling booths on Election Day and ensure that they cast their votes. “It would not be a satis-
factory result for any electorate or successful candidate if the number of voters who refrained from voting exceeded the winner’s majority,” he said Anyone apprehensive of
voting procedure should not hesitate to sek the heip of the deputy returning officer at the booths. Section 108 of the Electoral Act concerned blind, disabled, or illiterate voters, Mr Thomson said.
"Any elector who comes into one of these categories should seek out the deputy returning officer in charge of the booth, who has a statutory duty to assist,” he said.
