The Supervisor of Elections, Dudley Lewis, has announced the allocation of voters to polling stations for the forthcoming General Election on 9 November, today, Thu, 25 Oct 2012.
The Elections Ordinance requires him to allocate each elector to the appropriate designated polling station within their electoral district in any case where there is more than one polling station in that district.
This is done by the Supervisor providing a list to the presiding officer that details the persons who are to vote at that polling station by reference to the order of their family names.
The official list of voters to be provided to each polling station is specified in the Ordinance and it contains only the details of those persons who are allocated to vote at that station.
To be able to vote at the polling station, your details must appear on the official list for that station. This means that you have to vote at the polling station to which you have been allocated within your electoral district.
If you try to vote at another polling station in the electoral district to which you have not been allocated and where your details do not appear on the official list, you will not be allowed to vote and will be referred to the polling station to which you have been allocated.
If you wish to check which polling station you should attend, you can do so by contacting the Elections Officer at Tel: 946-2801, ext 11705 or ext 11703 or by checking the register of electors for your electoral district which has been deposited for inspection at the various places used for such purposes in each electoral district.
