NEEDLEPOINT COURSE Mrs. Mollie Sutton, Mrs. Dorothy Feagan and Mrs. Donna Young at- tended the needlepoint training course in Clinton last week and the Tiger Dunlop institute are sponsoring a class with Reeve .would -correct the voting list BY JEFF SEDDON Morris township reeve Bill Elston would rather correct voting lists in his township than campaign for a two year old girl's vote. Elston complained to . Huron -Perth assessment com - missioner Floyd Jenkins after Jenkins told county council Friday that the voters', lists prepared for the 1978 municipal elections were well done considering what his staff hadto 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 there were errors on the lists but told council that the per- centage of error his staff had making all the necessary changes on the lists was exceptionally low. He told council that the updating of the voters' list required i, enumeration, notating all changes in the lists, 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 that only work on the voters' lists five days a year. Jenkins said the changes in the voters' lists involved new people movinginto municipalities, people moving from place to 'place within the municipalities, people purchasing property and voters coming of age. since the last election two years ago. He told council the enumeration was done in „five days -arid the results of the field - work meant 60,000 changes to the, voters' list that involved over 100,000 key punch changes. He said all the key punch changes were done in 16 days. He added that for every 100 key punch changes the percentage of _error was-_ .003 percent which he said was "very, very low". Reeve Elston was not convinced the tax department did such a good job on the lists. Elston said the voters' list in his township in- cluded people that wire not Canadian citizens, listed people two or 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 door to door gathering in- formation needed to prepare the voters' lists and take people for their word. He saidthe enumerators do not challenge people to make sure all information is correct but simply notate what they are told and pass . it on to the assessment office staff.
