BROOKSIDE BROADCAST BY JANICE POLLOCK AND MANDY MILLER On Thursday, March 1, Kindergarten Registration is being held at Brookside School from 9.00 to 2.30 p.m. It is hoped that there will be a large turnout. . Reeve would correct. • from page 8 He said any incorrect information given the enumerators would be keypunched and no questions asked. He poi-nted 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. "The keypunch operator depends on the enumerator for correct information," said Jenkins. "Two years ago we had a dog on the voters' list," he quipped. He said there are several reason' mistakes occur. Some people simply aren't aware of their rights, some" misunderstand questions the enumerator asks and some are errors made by assessment office staff. But he stressed that it was more important to get a•person 'on the voters' list under in- correct information than to leave them off. He told council his experience has been that it is far better -to have a person on the list three times than not at all. "There is a greater hue and cry when people are missed than when they're on and there's a mistake," said Jenkins. The assessment officer told council his staff was using -.records from the last voters' list to im- prove on the next one adding that hopefully there will be very few • • problems like the ones Elston referred to. He said the computer that prints out the voters' lists was being programmed with more information than 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 now included in computer instructions, should prevent fathers from appearing tyvice on voters' lists when sons with the same name don't appear at al,l.
