Voting preparations began in the fall of 1959, although the actual demarcation and planning for the rural communes was completed in 1958.
There were three major administrative tasks: the fixing of electoral districts, the registration of voters and the registration of candidates.
Voter registration began in late November 1959 and continued until early January, 1960.
The government was most anxious that there be a respectable response.
Periodic bulletins of the accomplishment in each province made the registration process into a kind of competition among provincial officials.
A goal was fixed, as given in Table 2, and attention focused on its fulfillment.
The qualifications to vote were kept very simple.
Both men and women of twenty-one years of age could register and vote upon presenting proof of residence and identification.
There were liberal provisions for dispensation where documents or records were lacking.
The police were disqualified along with certain categories of naturalized citizens, criminals and those punished for Protectorate activities.
