This is an optimistic view. ficial that all eligible voters register for the voters list immed: jately or check to make sure their names are already on the list’ Both White Rock and Surrey officials have in the past experienced numerous complaints by people who did not find out until too ate that they were not on the list. They had no one to blame but themselves, Had these people taken the trouble to investigate prior to the closing deadline they would have been eligible to cast their ballot and thus have a say in the government of their community. We strongly suggest that éveryone in both White Rock and Surrey peruse the information regarding the voters list which have appeared in recent editions of the Sun and read the news story in last week’s paper so they may understand fully their position in regard to casting a ballot If you still do not understand your status after studying this information contact either the municipal or city hall and the staff there will be glad to enlighten you on any points that It is of the utmost importance that every eligible yoter casts a ballot in the forthcoming elections so don’t lose your right to vote because of a technicality. The December election is of great significance to White Rock because the people will be voting for mayorality candi- dates. Three aldermen will also be chosen for a two-year term It is up to the public.alone to decide whether they wish to put their trust in the present mayor and aldermen, should they stand for office again or choose a new slate.
