   (c)  a person whose identity card number or name appears in a provisional
        register is no longer entitled to be registered therein or in the part
        in which he is registered, he may, subject to subsection (2), in

        additional entry or remove an entry, as may be appropriate.

(2) The registration officer shall not correct, make or remove an entry under
