Re: Repistration of Resident and Tenant Vlectors

As Council members are aware, the Municipal Act has been amended so that the date
for the holding of the annual ‘unicipal Election is now the third Saturday in ilovember.
With this moving ahead of the Election date it was necessary for all the various steps
in the preparation of the List of Electors to be aiso altered and the result is that
the final date for registration of Residents and Tenants is 5:00 p.m., Friday, August
31st, 1973. :

We have placed the usual advertisements concerning the preparation of the List of
Electors but have not conducted a special registration campaign this year due to two
factors, firstly, the registration period now falls in the summer months when many
people are away; and, secondly, the shortage of <ime available to organize and oversee

a campaign during our own staffs summer vacation period.

Perhaps the press in attendance at the meeting this evening could be asked to give

somé publicity to the deadline date of August 31st not only for Port Coquitlam but for

fold

all municipalities in the Province.
