Registered electors swell to record high
*

The 2008 provisional register for geographical constituencies has reached a record high, with more than 3.37 million registered electors, the Registration & Electoral Office says.

 

There were 166,000 newly registered electors for geographical constituencies. With the deletion of electors who have died or not reported address changes, there was a net increase of more than 75,000 electors over last year.

 

The number of electors in the provisional register for functional constituencies has also grown, by 17,000 to more than 229,000.

 

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 June 30. More statistical information on these provisional registers will be made available here.

 

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