Of the threeparty leaders,

Mr. Ghiz was the only one who made kgmself available to the Sg The following are highlights from the resulting _S_un_ exclusive;

31, 1981.

P.E.I. Chief Electoral Officer, Arthur J. Currie, said that although voter registration for the Sept. 27 election has been completed, persons in the province who did not register and get their names on the voters v , list, will still be able

to vote on Sept. 27, if
