3. As soon as possible after the 1st day of January, 1919, and thereafter at the same period in every third year, there shall be prepared by the Secretary, Post and Telegraph Department, an alphabetical list of voters, comprising the officers of the Post and Telegraph Department. Such list shall be retained at the General Post Office, and may be inspected prior to the date of election by officers entitled to vote.

4. Only officers whose names are on such list shall be entitled to vote; provided that the validity of any election shall not be questioned on the ground that a name wrongly appears on such list or has been omitted therefrom.

There shall be two Scrutineers—namely, the Assistant Postmaster, Wellington, and the Assistant Superintendent of the Telegraph Office, Wellington, or the person or persons performing the duties of either or both of those officers.

6. Candidates for election shall be nominated in writing by not less than three officers entitled to vote, and nominations must reach the Returning Officer at Wellington on or before the last Wednesday of January in each election year. The consent of the candidate to nomination must appear on the face of the nomination-paper and be signed by him.
