Appoint
returning
officer
W. Eldrid Simmons of
Exeter has been appointed
returning officer for the
provincial riding of Huron -
Middlesex.
Mr. Simmons who is the
present reeve of Exeter and a
former mayor of that town
succeeds Russel T. Bolton of
McKillop Township who
resigned not long after the
1975 provincial election.
Mr. Bolton at the time of his
resignation, recalled that his
first election in the riding was
the by-election of May 12, 1958
and in the years since he has
been responsible for five
general elections and one
other by-election. He also
served as returning officer
for four federal elections.
New requirements of the
Chief Electoral office provide
for a review of polling sub-
divisions to ensure an
average of 200 to 250 voters to
each poll.
Mr. Simmons said that this
could result in a change in the
boundaries of a number of
polls across the riding where
there have been increases in
population.
He is carrying on
discussions with municipal
officials and party
representatives in connection
with the proposed changes so
'that they may be carried out
with a minimum of confusion
for the voter who may find he
will vote in a poll different
from that to which he has
been accustomed.
