CHAP. VI] THE LOWER HOUSES 487 which he or she seeks to be registered ; (5) had his or her name upon the electoral roll of a municipality or a roads board in respect to any property within the electorate ; or (6) was resident in the electoral district at the time of claiming registration. Aboriginals, or half-castes, of Asia, Australasia, or Africa, were not entitled to vote, except in respect of free- hold qualifications. Under the Electoral Act, No. 27 of 1907, ss. 17, 18, the option of a property qualification disappears, and with it incidentally the aboriginal and half-caste franchise altogether. Plural voting is not allowed. The suffrage was extended to women by the Act 63 Vict. No. 19, ss. 3,21. The amending Act of 1907 requires six months’ residence in Western Australia, and one in the electoral district. There are fifty electoral districts, each returning one member. The quorum is seventeen. The disqualifications are, under s. 18 of the Act of 1907, (1) unsoundness of mind ; (2) sole dependence on state or charitable relief other than hospital relief ; (3) attainder of treason, and conviction and sentence for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a year or more in any part of the King’s dominions, and (4) being an aboriginal native of Australia, Asia, Africa, or the Islands of the Pacific, or a person of the half blood. In Tasmania the qualifications of electors are as follows, ander the Act 64 Vict. No. 5, and amending Acts, 3 Edw. VII. No. 13, and 7 Edw. VII. No. 6. Every person of the age of twenty-one years, not subject to any legal incapacity, who is a natural-born or naturalized subject of His Majesty, or who has received letters of deni- zation or a certificate of naturalization, and has been resident in Tasmania for a period of twelve months, shall be entitled to be registered as an elector, and, as such, qualified to vote at the election of a member to serve in the House of Assembly for the district in which he resides. Persons not entitled to vote include any person, although qualified, if he (1) is, at the time of the sitting of the Revision ! An attempt was made by Mr. Scaddan in 1911 to secure the alteration of the clause to allow Maoris a vote, but unsuccessfully. He also tried to seeure the franchise for half-castes.
