revised maps he sent revised maps of the eon- stituencies to returning officers in all parts of canada he asked them to revise the boundaries of their polling divis ions and to complete the work by aug 15 each division should con tain between 300 and 350 electors that done he estimated the number of polling divisions there will be in each constituency he figured the number of enumera tors needed to collect the names of persons eligible to vote the next move was to send to returning officers much of the material they will need to conduct an election the material it runs into hundreds of tons includes a copy of the canada elections act instructions to returning officers instructions to enumerators paper and supplies for enumerators and information on the revision of voters lists duty of

of utmost importance that you place your self in a position to put the elec tion machinery in operation imme diately upon the receipt of a tie- graphic message from this office informing you of the issue of writs ordering the general election minimum of time experience has shown that when it is desired to hold a general election a minimum of time is given for the appointment of rural and urban enumerators and for furnishing them with the neces sary supplies the 3syearold mr castonguay who succeeded his father as chief electoral officer in 1949 will not be setting a precedent if election supplies reach returning officers months in advance of an election the returning officers had their supplies for the 1945 election on hand for a year in 1949 the sup plies reached them eight months in
