HC Deb 03 December 1964 vol 703 cc106-7W
61. Mr. Brooke

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he is taking to make as widely known as possible that the draft lists of electors for 1964–65 are now on view, and that claims for inclusion in the register, by persons whose names have been omitted in error, must be made within the next few days if the error is to be corrected.

Sir F. Soskice

There are three separate Government announcements on the B.B.C. Home Service urging inspection of the lists before 16th December. Detailed information is distributed by the Home Office to the national and local Press and to the broadcasting authorities: this is widely used. The slogan "Are you on the new voters' lists?—check now" is currently incorporated in postmarks. In the constituencies publicity is arranged by electoral registration officers.

These arrangements follow those of previous years.
