The closing date for the publication of the forthcoming revision of the electoral register due next month is September 30, the chief electoral commissioner said.

All citizens aged 18 and over whose names do not appear in the register published last April and who have not since applied for registration as voters, should apply provided they have the necessary qualifications.

Application forms may be obtained from police stations, local councils and from the electoral office.

It is in the interest of voters to verify that their personal particulars, as shown on April's register, are correct. The electoral office should be notified of any necessary changes.

For those who wish to register as voters or to change their personal details, the electoral office is open from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and noon.

The same facilities are provided at the identity card office in Republic Street, Victoria.

All applications may be delivered to the Electoral Commission, Evans Building, St Elmo Place, Valletta; or at any police station; or to the chief electoral commissioner free of any postal charge by September 30.
