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.
