Caution: This is a past version. See the current version here.

(1) An elector whose identity card number, name or any other relevant
particular referred to in section 5(2)(b), (3) or (7) appears in an existing
final register may request the registration officer in writing to make, in the
entry relating to him, such alteration as specified by him.

(2) Where the registration officer-

   (a)  receives a request under subsection (1) on or before 1 June in any
        year and after 5 July of the immediately preceding year; and

   (b)  is satisfied that the entry relating to the person is incorrect and
        should be corrected as requested, he shall, when compiling the
        corresponding provisional register for that year, enter in the
        appropriate place therein the particulars of the elector concerned
        corrected as requested, but if he is not so satisfied he shall not
        alter that entry.

(3) If as a result of information obtained-

   (a)  pursuant to an inquiry under section 11; or

   (b)  by any other means, on or before 1 June in any year but after 5 July
        of the immediately preceding year, it appears to the registration
        officer that any particular in an entry in the relevant existing final
        register and to which the information relates is incorrect, he may,
        when compiling the relevant provisional register for that year, enter
        in the appropriate place the corrected particulars.

(4) Where, under this section, the registration officer makes a correction or
decides not to alter an entry as requested he shall, as soon as practicable,
notify the elector concerned by post of such correction or decision. (Enacted
