ERO to prepare omissions list

(1) In compiling a provisional register, the ERO must, for the purposes of
section 17(4)(a) and (b) of the Election Ordinance, prepare an
omissions list ("omissions list").

(2) The ERO must enter on the omissions list the name and other 
relevant particulars of a person registered in the existing final register
for a Village ("relevant Village") regarding whom the ERO has made an inquiry
under section 17 on or before 14 July of the current year, if the result of
the inquiry was as follows-

   (a)  the information asked for was not received by the ERO on or before 30
        July of the current year;

   (b)  the person, in response to the inquiry, has informed the ERO that he
        or she does not wish to be registered;

   (c)  the ERO is satisfied on reasonable grounds (based on information
        received in response to the inquiry or otherwise) that the person is
        dead;

   (d)  the ERO is satisfied on reasonable grounds and despite any information
        to the contrary received by the ERO, that the person is dead;

   (e)  the ERO is satisfied on reasonable grounds (based on information
        received in response to the inquiry or otherwise) that the person is
        disqualified from being registered or not eligible to be registered;
        or

   (f)  the ERO is satisfied on reasonable grounds and despite any information
        to the contrary received by the ERO, that the person is disqualified
        from being registered or not eligible to be registered.

(3) The ERO must enter on the omissions list the name and other 
relevant particulars of any person whose name is recorded in the existing 
final register, if the Registrar of Births and Deaths has informed the ERO, on
or before 30 July of the current year, that the person is dead.

(4) In compiling an Existing Villages provisional register-

   (a)  if the ERO has reason to believe-

        (i)    from information received in response to a requirement or
               inquiry under section 16 or 17 or otherwise; or

        (ii)   despite any information to the contrary received by the ERO,
               that the address recorded against a person's name in the
               existing final  register for Existing Villages is no longer the
               person's principal  residential address; and

   (b)  if the principal residential address of that person is not known to
        the ERO at the time the omissions list is prepared, the ERO must enter
        on the omissions list the name and other relevant  particulars of that
        person.

(5) The ERO must, in a manner that the ERO considers appropriate, show on the
omissions list that a person whose name and other relevant  particulars are
entered on the omissions list is a person whose name the ERO proposes to omit
from the next final register for the relevant Village.

(6) The ERO may enter on the omissions list the name and other 
relevant particulars of a person under subsection (2)(a) only if the inquiry
was made from the person who is the subject of the inquiry and the ERO has
informed the person-

   (a)  in writing and by registered post; and

   (b)  at the address recorded against the person's name in the
        existing final register, that the ERO proposes to omit that person's
        name from the next final  register if the relevant information is not
        received by the ERO on or before 30 July of the current year.

(7) The ERO may enter on the omissions list the name and other 
relevant particulars of a person under subsection (2)(b) only if the inquiry
was made from the person who is the subject of the inquiry.

(8) In this section, "other relevant particulars" (其他有關詳情) means,
in relation to the compilation of-

   (a)  the Existing Villages provisional register, the principal 
        residential address; and

   (b)  the Indigenous Villages and Composite Indigenous Villages
        provisional register, the principal residential address, if it has
        been furnished to the ERO.
