2007 Enumeration

Beginning today (Monday, May 14) and continuing through May 25 inclusive, some 1,550 provincial enumerators will be on the streets throughout Newfoundland and Labrador to capture the name, civic and mailing address, date of birth and telephone number of all eligible electors in the province to produce a comprehensive and accurate voters list for the upcoming October 9, 2007 general election. These enumerators have been appointed by a district returning officer, trained and sworn to secrecy and they will be wearing identification when they visit all residences.

An eligible elector is a person who will be 18 years of age or older on Election Day, resident in the province, electoral district and polling division being enumerated.

If you are not at home when an enumerator visits, a doorknob notice will be left at your residence with the name and telephone number of the enumerator for you to contact in order to be added to the List.

If you do not call the enumerator within a reasonable time frame, a second and possible third visit will be made to the household to collect the necessary information.

Acting Chief Electoral Officer, Paul Reynolds, asks the public for their continuing co-operation and support when an enumerator comes to your door requesting this information. A reminder that date of birth and telephone number will not appear on the voters list when it is used at the polling station on Election Day, October 9, 2007.

For further information you may contact the district returning officer for your area, the Chief Electoral Office at 729-0712 or visit the CEO Web site at www.elections.gov.nl.ca/elections.
