ELBCTION POLLS.

The Public are aware that efforts have been made to
'diminish the expenses of alsetkvis„ to shorten their daratloo, and
faeilitate the means of palling. Of some of the measures proposed
we disapprove. However, a Report has been made from " the
Select Committee on Election Polls for Cities and Boroughs,"
which we believe it will be the shortest way so subjoin:
It appears from the concurrent testimony of almost all those per-
sons well acquainted with the mode of taking the poll, in various
pines where contested elections are of frequent occurrence, and the
number of electors very considerable who have been examined, that
in places when the number of voters is large, the greatest Inca:.
venience is suffered by the electors themselves, and a heavy expense
Incurred by tie candidates, from the very inadequate means which
are afforded of taking the poll. It must be obvious to the Have,
that in populous places the excitement occasioned by a contested
election Is very great ; that it is not moaned to the electors, but
pervades every class of the community ; and that any means which
can be devised to shorten the period of such excitement, and lesiva
the licentiousness and riot which are Its usual accompaniments, are
worthy of the attention of the Legislature.

The evils now generally felt may be chiefly attributed to the 10.
sufficient number of polling plates ; the unnecessary length of time
allowed by law for keeping open the poll ; and the frivolous objet-
dons and protracted discussions occasioned by the practice of inter.
rupting the poll, for the purpose of deciding open the validity of
disputed votes.

It appears to your Committee, that the tint mode of obviates
these Inconveniences will be—

Ist. To provide by law that the number of polling places at con.
tested elections shall be so regulated, that only a limited number of
voters shall poll at any one place.

2d. To reduce considerably the number of days allowed for
taking the poll.

U. To cause all disputed maw to be referred, without interrupt-
ing the progress of the poll, to the returning oflicer or assessor, who
shall sit in some convenient place apart from the hustings, for the
purpose of deciding on their validity.

It has also been stated to your Committee, that much ineo•-
venience and great frauds are consequent on the practice of allow-
ing persons claiming a right of voting, to qualify dut ing the progress
of the election ; and that In the confusion attendant on a contested
election, persons are frequently enabled, by fraudulent means, to
obtain qualifications to which they have no legal right.
It has been suggested to your Committee, that It would be
expedient to provide by law that in future no person shall nave •
right to vote in respect to a qualification which ha shall have bad
less than six months.

Although your Committee are of opinion that this is a subject
well worthy of the attention of Parliament, they do not venture to
recommend any alteration of the existing law, as they conceive that
their instructions limit them to an inquiry into the mode of taking
the poll, and to the suggestion of such amendments on the present
practice as may appear to them most advisable.

Your Committee have not thought it necessary to enter into a
lengthened detail of the means which have occurred to them of
remedying the existing evils, u they have directed their Chairman
Ito prepare a bill, which will contain such provisions as they think
best calculated fur that purpose.—May Vt.
