  REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE ACT, 1918.

       You are about to be registered as a Parliamentary elector

  for the constituency and for the qualifying address mentioned 

  on the other side in the first Register of Electors under 

  the above Act. Your name will be included in the list of

  Absent Voters. Absent Voters will ordinarily record their 

  votes by post on ballot papers which will be sent to the at 

  the time of an election ; but an absent voter, who, in con-

  nection with the war, is serving or about to serve afloat or

  in any area on land abroad in which voting by proxy is 

  permitted, or who is a merchant seaman, pilot or fisherman, 

  is entitled to appoint a proxy to vote for him. 

      The areas on land abroad in wich proxy voting is per-

  mitted include all areas outside the British Islands except 

  France and Belgium. If you are serving or about to serve 

  either afloat or in any country abroad except France or 

  Belgium and desire to appoint a proxy, you are recom-

  mended to make the appointment without delay. A form 

  for the purpose, together with instructions, can be obtained

  by a man in the Forces from his ship, establishment, or 

  O.C. unit ; in the case of merchant seamen, from the British 

  Consulate at the principal ports abroad ; or in the case of

  persons engared on recognised war work through the body

  or association under which they are serving. Forms can 

  also be obtained from the Registration Officers.

      Other absent voters, including naval or military voters

  who are serving in the British Islands or in France or 

  Belgium, are not entitled to appoint proxies, but, on an 

  election occurring, ballot papers will be sent by post to them

  addressed to the ships or units in which they are recorded 

  as serving, or in the case of persons not in the Forces, to the 

  address recoded by the Registration Officer. Every effort

  will be made by the postal authorities to secure that the 

  ballot papers shall reach the voters in time to enable them 

  to record their votes and return them so as to reach the 

  Returning Officer before the time at wich the votes are to 

  be counted. Instructions as to voting will accompany the 

  ballot papers. If, having appointed a proxy, you are sub-

  sequently transferred to the United Kingdom or to France 

  or Belgium, and wish to vote by post, you must cancel the 

  appointment of your proxy by filling up a form which you 

  can obtain for the purpose from the Registration Officer

  whose name and address are given overleaf.

     In any communication to the Registration Officer please 

  quote the constituency, the polling district letter and 

  the qualifying address shown overleaf.

     This card should be retained by you.
