THE LIQUOR REFERENDUM

SOLDIERS AND ENROLMENT. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, February 28. The chief electoral officer has issued statement to the effect that every member of the Expeditionary Forces, who has already returned to New Zealand should make application for enrolment on the regular electoral roll of the district in which he resided before he left New Zealand. He has not lost the right of enrolment by reason of having been absent on active service. He can obtain an absent voter’s permit if he expects to be out of his district on the election day. Men already discharged, or whose discharges will become final before the 10th April, can only vote as electors of a district, and cannot have votes recorded under the special provisions for members of the Expeditionary Forces, of which he will then be no longer a member. This applies to all men who have arrived, or who may arrive before March 3rd next.
