WHEREAS by "The Regulation of Elections Act, 1870," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor, by Warrant under his hand, from time to time to appoint Polling Places for each Electoral
District, within or within one mile of the limits thereof, and to appoint any one of such Polling Places
to be the Principal Polling Place for the District, and all or any of such Polling Places from time to time to
abolish, and, if he think fit, to appoint other Polling Places in lieu of those abolished, and that every such
Warrant shall be published in the New Zealand Gazette: Provided always that no Polling Place shall be
appointed by the Governor under the said Act unless he shall be first satisfied that the place to be appointed
is more convenient than any other for at least twenty electors to record their votes thereat:

And whereas it is by the said Act also enacted that all appointments of Polling Places made before the
coming into operation of the said Act, and then remaining unaltered, shall be deemed to have been made
under the provisions of the said Act:

And whereas by Warrants under the hand of the Governor certain places were appointed Polling Places
and Principal Polling Places for the election of Members of the House of Representatives for the Electoral
Districts mentioned in the Schedule hereto:

And whereas it is expedient to abolish the said Polling Places and Principal Polling Places:

Now know ye that I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor of New Zealand, in pursuance and
exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the said Act, do hereby abolish all the Polling Places
and Principal Polling Places for the Electoral Districts mentioned in the said Schedule, for the election
of Members of the House of Representatives.
