PREFACE. 
 
 The recent changes in the laws affecting the Electoral 
 Franchise in Ontario, — by which the right of suffrage for 
 Legislative Elections has been extended to nearly all male 
 persons of full age, — have rendered necessary the publi- 
 cation of a second edition of the Editor's " Manual on 
 Voters' Lists." 
 
 But while the Franchise for Legislative Elections has 
 been generally approaching " Manhood Sufferage," the 
 Municipal Franchise has remained at the qualifications 
 fixed in 1873 (36 Vic. cap, 48) supplemented by the 
 addition, in 1874, of Income Voters (37 Vic. cap. 3) and, 
 in 1877, of Farmers' Sons (40 Vic. cap. 9.) 
 
 The titles of the two classes of Voters — for Legislative 
 and Municipal Elections, —are not uniform, as maybe 
 seen by an examination of the annexed table. And the 
 statutory directions given to Municipal Clerks in preparing 
 the Voters' Lists have been framed more in harmony with 
 the rules governing the Legislative, rather than the 
 JTunicipal, Franchise. (See notes pp. 10-15.) 
 
 The registration of Voters for Legislative and Munici- 
 pal Elections being inseparable, and being required to 
 bo incorporated in the one Voters' List, the notes appended 
 to this Edition have been written with the view of 
 assisting Municipal Clerks and others engaged in the 
 preparation and revision of Voters' Lists, in the labor 
 of harmonizing the divergent titles and qualifications 
 prescribed fci each Franchise.
