The Dauphin Herald and Press is a weekly newspaper published by the Dauphin Herald Company Limited in Dauphin. The paper is authorized as second class matter by the Post Office Department. Editor Helen F. Marsh.
In Dauphin voters prepare for June 10 with four candidates and more than 8,000 previous nonvoters. The piece reiterates Canada Elections Act directions for marking ballots, avoiding disqualification, and the consequences of errors or fraud, urging careful study of five candidate names and decisive voting.
The piece notes only 67 of every 100 eligible Canadians voted in 1953. It argues the public lacks appreciation for parliamentary government and historic struggles that shaped the franchise. It questions education’s role in teaching citizens about king and Parliament and the people’s long fight for voting rights.
The passage argues that many voters stay home due to indifference and ignorance of past lessons. It suggests polling as a solution and urges ongoing education by parties and individuals to preserve the ballot and encourage participation.
