|
Based on the assumption that there are two electors per household, this would give the potential for an additional 7,208 electors on the Register of Electors. However, it is unknown how many of those are resident elsewhere in the borough and therefore already registered at their current addresses.
The Director also reports that population changes estimates for the next four years are as follows:-
