VOTE EARLY, BUT NOT OFTEN
Th-, is the adv;>o usually given by returning officers on the eve of an election. It is appropriate to-day because Wanganui residents are required to fill three extraordinary vacancies on the City Council. Early voting saves the time of the elector and the poll clerks; but dual voting simply isn’t done. Each person whose name is on the roll is entitled to one vote. Cases of persons going from booth to booth and doubling up on their votes are extremely rare, but if they did a prosecution would be likely. The rolls are always checked after an election.
