Registered electors have only two days left to raise objections, make claims or request for corrections regarding entries on the 1998 provisional registers and the omissions lists.

"If anybody has doubts about whether his name is included, he should check his registration particulars without delay by Saturday (February 21)," a spokesman for the Registration and Electoral Office said today.

"You will not be able to vote in this year's Legislative Council elections if your name is not on the registers or being put on the omissions lists," he added.

Objections or claims must be lodged by February 21 in a specified form in person at the office of the Electoral Registration Officer, 10th floor, Harbour Centre, Wan Chai, or 10th floor, Guardian House, 32 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai.

Since the registers and the omissions lists were published last Friday (February 13), 35 objections and claims have been lodged.

These cases will be referred to eight Revising Officers, who are members of the Judiciary, for determination by next Saturday (February 28). Their decisions will be reflected in the final registers to be published before mid-March.

A registered elector may call hotline 2891 1001 or make enquiries via fax (2891 1180) to check his own records. The hotline will maintain services up to midnight on Saturday.

The provisional register and the omissions list for the five geographical constituencies are available for inspection during ordinary business hours up to noon on Saturday at:

* the Registration and Electoral Office, 10th floor, Harbour Centre, 25 Harbour Road, Wan Chai; and

* 18 district offices (that part of the register relevant to the district).

The provisional registers for the functional constituencies and the Election Committee subsectors and the omissions lists for the functional constituencies may be inspected at:

* the Registration and Electoral Office, 10th floor, Harbour Centre, 25 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, and 10th floor, Guardian House, 32 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai; and

* five District Offices in Central and Western, Yau Tsim Mong, Kwun Tong, Sha Tin and Tsuen Wan.

Any person who wishes to inspect the registers or the omissions lists is required to fill in a form and show his identity card.
