Elections.

Chap. 2.—The sheriffs are to sub-divide polling districts containing more than 300 electors, so that there shall be a district for each 200, and he may grant an additional district for a less number, if, by remoteness of any body of voters, it is expedient. He fixes a polling station in each, and furnishes the clerk of the peace with the boundaries, &c. The clerk furnishes them to the assessors, and they and the revisors enter the number of his polling place opposite each voter's name in their lists. Parts of 2 or more districts may be included in one new sub division. The City Clerk. Halifax, acts there instead of the clerk of the peace. The sub-divisions for House of Commons elections are to be followed when made.
