   Grosvenor Avenue resident Jon Breslaw, a volunteer with the demerger committee who has been working on revisions at the same time as election officials at Westmount Borough Hall, said he found that as many as 26 names of individuals who had moved or died were on a list of 130 he checked going door to door.
   
   The rate of error, which amounts to exactly 20 per cent, is identical to the result tabulated in Baie d,Urfé on the West Island, where reports of erroneous information in the
   
   electoral lists first surfaced in recent weeks. Elections Quebec, which will be submitting the final list for the referendum this week, claims to have found errors amounting to no more than two per cent.
   
   Breslaw, an economist at Concordia University, estimated that, except for all the revisions, the variance between the two figures would mean the number of voters who aren,t listed or who are mistakenly included would be as high as 20 per cent.
   
   I would imagine it would be somewhat less because there,s a fair amount of work now being done, given the knowledge, to try and take some of those names off, but it involves a tremendous effort in terms of going door to door,, he said.
   
   ,It,s a very badly crafted law,, Breslaw added, referring to Bill 9.
