Parliamentary Roll.
It is understood that the Government ha- decided to take an electoral census of the Dominion early in July, in readiness for compilation of the rolls for the new electoral districts. A householders’ schedule will be used in the four chief cities, each occupier of a house being required to fill in the names of all adults residing therein. Adults already on the roll will remain, and adults not enrolled will be given registration claims, and on subsequent com. partons of schedules and roils non-resi-dents will be removed from the rolls.
In country electorates a house-to-house canvass will be made, as in 1905. for the purpose of enrolling electors and recording changes of address. It is not proposed to extend the house-to-house canvass to sparsely-settled districts. but each postmaster will be instructed to see that enrolment is as complete as possible.
