The number of electors on the provisional 2007 register for geographical constituencies has reached a record high of more than 3,295,000. The Registration & Electoral Office said about 142,000 were newly-registered electors.

Taking into account the deletions of electors who have died or who have not reported their latest residential addresses, there is a net increase of more than 109,000 electors on the roll.

The geographical constituencies provisional register and omissions list, along with those for functional constituencies and Election Committee subsectors, will be released tomorrow for public inspection until August 29. More statistical information about these provisional registers is available here.

People can also call 2891 1001 to check whether their names are listed in the registers or the omissions lists. The final registers will be published by September 25.
