As stated editorially in The Guardian last week, the special leleetion-time furlough order of the Xlackenzie King Govern- ment, combined with involved and impractical voting regula- tions applicable to our Service Forces on furlough, makes it extremebv difficult for many Canadian soldiers to vote.

"his applies especially to provinces such as Prince Iid- ward Island, with a large rural population residing at consider- able distance from Charlotte- town, the military centre.

The regulations provide that soldiers on furlough may vote tat military units. Many will be at their homes in localities at a considerable distance from mili- ltary headquarters. If under twenty-one years of age, as many of our soldiers are, these young men will be disfranchised unless they travel at their own expense to a military unit to vote.

Strong opposition to this re- strictive regulation has been taken by Dr. Robb, Dominion organizer for the National Con- servative Party.

The publicity given Dr. Robb’: protest in Th: Guardian has resulted in the establish- ment of a voting booth for act- ive service electors at Summer- side, as announced for the first

time in yesterday's Liberal organ. This, however, still leaves large sections of the

Province unprovided for. Another sequel to The Guar-

dian protest was the following telegram received yesterday from Mr. Jules Castonguay,

Chief Electoral Officer by Mr. john F_ Connolly, Returning Officer for Queen's:

“Your: today. Active service elector: may vote u civilian electors In the ulna dlvi-slon when they woud be expected w you If they were n01. on ac- tive service. This generallv means weirbordlnarv place of residence prtcr to 91111511119111 for active servkze. ‘Iherefcre in mrnl polling divisions an active service elector may even vote under sec, 46 of the Elections Act If his name Is not on the list. In urban pollln dtvrtslctis names of active aewce electors must, be on to vote as ﬁvﬂlm electiorsl. Ari-five serviie ectora on urOuk ml! "I 9 In any unlt spevlllly Quint!!! [or that pu so stationed In the place I ere they hllPllsll Io be while on furlollllh’ (Slgnedl

It will be noted that unless the soldier on furlough votes at the prescribed military unit (which may be thirty or forty miles from his home) hs ""15! vote as a “civilian elector." No civilian elector under twenty- one years of age is entitled to vote. Hence the disadvantage which our younger soldiers are under, with apparently deliber- ate intent to disfranchise them.

Dr. Robb's summing up of the situation remains unchang- ed. He said: "The Government must have knoum when it i:- tued special election-Hm: fur- lough: that i! would make it difficult for the soldier: to vote. Then i: no escape from I/w conclusion that Hi: Government tuant: Io discourage thl soldier: from voting, berauu they know foo much about it: restricted and bungled tear efforts and becmtse they know 10o snitch about lack of uniform: and lack of army equipment and other condition; of incampetency and inefficiency and half-hurried- ness in the Govcrnnmtf‘: pro:- rcufian of flu war.
