62. Major NEWMANasked the Prime Minister whether the soldiers who will have returned to this country before the polling day at the forthcoming General Election will be entitled to vote as absent voters, whether actually at their own homes on such polling day or in some other part of the United Kingdom; and, it not, what arrangements will be made by the Government to meet the new situation created by the termination of hostilities?
§ Mr. S. WALSHAny person on the absent voters' list is entitled to vote by post, if he is not a proxy voter, and arrangements have been made by which soldiers who may be in this country or detached from their units can themselves notify to the Registration Officer the addresses to which they desire their ballot papers forwarded.
