FINAL RESULTS OF RECENT POLLS
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The results of the polls on licensing and off-course betting will not. be given before next week, though it is expected that the official count will be completed by the end of this week. The returns of absentee and postal votes are still being received at the Chief Electoral Office and these indicate that there will probably be an average of at least 500 such votes to an electorate. One elecorate reached nearly 1000. Postal and absentee votes were fewer than expected.
The time taken for mail to reach the Electoral Office from isolated areas is another reason for the unavoidable delay in the completion of the final results.
