"I think since we have municipal elections coming up next March, it would be right immediately after that, a couple months after that the re-registration would commence and then the thing would be how to see how fast we could turn it around and complete it.

We are hoping that it will move swiftly and we are hoping that we would then be ready to proceed to referendum."
