Registrations for the roll will be taken until January 2004

There was confusion in the States last week over what would happen now the enumerator scheme, which encouraged islanders to vote to have a stake in Guernsey politics, has ended.

Liz Dene, the Assistant Registrar General of Electors, says the wider project has not finished.

She says names can be added until 31 January 2004.

Forms available

Houses which have completed the enumerator's forms will now get cards checking the details collected are correct, while properties for which no information has been collected will get cards telling them how to add names to the list.

Mrs Dene says the whole scheme has been designed to be as simple as possible.

Forms for the electoral roll are available from Frossard House, the Greffe, Parish offices and also on the States Internet site.

So far, more than 29,000 people on the island have applied to be included on the list.

The old register had approximately 25,900 names.
