the first total enumeration
since 1947, .

The cost of the provin-
cial canvass is estimated at -
$4.6 million. This’ is
$500,000 less than the ori-
ginal estimate because a
computerized system will
be used to replace the
manual addressograph
method used previously to
prepare the lists.

To be eligible to vote
residents must be a Can-
adian or British subject,
have lived in Canada for

one year and in B.C. for six
months.

The eligible voter must
also be at least 19 years
old.

Enumerations must be
completed by March 22.
