Reeve Elston complained to. .Huron -Perth assesstltent commissioner Floyd Jenkins after Jenkins told country council Friday that 'the voters' lists prepared for the 1978 municipal elections were well done considering what his staff had to do to prepare them,. • • Jenkins told council that his staff worked very hard, preparing the voters' lists and despite a shortage of time brought about by the change in the election date made very few errors,. Jenkins conceded that therewereerrorsonthe lists but told council that the percentage of error his staff had making all the necessary changes on the. lists was exceptionally low. He toldcouncil that the updating of the voters' list required enumeration,: notating all changes in thelists, key; punching those changes and getting all the work done in a little over two weeks. He said the job was "mammoth" pointing out that the work was all done by staff thatonly work on the voter's lists five days a year. Jenkins said the changes in the voters lists involved new people moving into municipalities, people moving from place to place within the municipalities, people purchasing property and voters coming, of age Since the last election tivo years ago. He told' councilthe enumeration was done infive days -and the results of the field work meant 60,000 changes to, the voters' list that involved over 100,000' key punch changes:He saidall the key punch changes ' were done in 16 days, He added that for every it00key punch changes the percentage. oferror was:, 003 percept which. he.said was "very, very low." Reeve Elston was not convinced the tax department did Such a good job on the lists. He said the voters' list id his township included people that, were not Canadian citiaens, listed people two dr three times and even had the name of a two year old girl on it "If this is a good year I'd hate to see' a poor one," said Elston. -Jenkins explained to Council that it was. • not uncommon for people with no voting rights to show up on the voters'•,. lists.' He said enumerators go doer to door gatheringm information,: needed to . prepare the voters' lists, and take people attheir word. He said the enumerat ors do .not challenge people to make sure all information is correct but simply tiotate.;wbat they are told and' pass it on to the assessment office. staff. He said any incorrectinformation given the enumeratorswould be -key punched and no questions asked. He pointed out there is 'no way there is time to • check on every person in the counties adding that any mistakes hopefully will be cleared up after the election. . He said there are several reasons, mistakes occur. Some people simply aren't: aware of their rights, some misunderstand questions: the enumerator . ask and some„ kareerrorsmade by assessment office staff:: But he stressed that it was more. important to get a person on the voters' list under incorrect information than to leave them off. He told council:' his experience has been thatit is far better to have a .' person on the list°ihree t im'es than not at all. "There is a greater hue and cry when. people are missed than when'they'te on and there's a mistake" said Jenkins. Theassesstnent officer told council his staff was using records' from the last voters' list to improve on the next one adding that hopefully there: will be very few problems'. like the ones Reeve Elston referred to. He said the computer that prints out the voters' lists was being programnted with more information tha n ever before -so that duplications will be eliminated': He said people that own several ,pieces . of property in one ' municipality appear on the voters' list for every property 'owned. Under the new system they Will Only appear once, under the property they reside on He added that birth dates, which are flow included in. tions should Quidprevent computer instructions, fathers from appearing twice ott voters' lists when sons withthe same name don't appear at all, TeI.527.,0410 • .ARNOLD J.
