22. The Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters of the Venice Commission provides some criteria to consider reliable electoral registers:
i. Electoral registers must be permanent;
ii. There must be regular up-dates, at least once a year. Where voters are not registered automatically, registration must be possible over a relatively long period;
iii. Electoral registers must be published;
iv. There should be an administrative procedure---subject to judicial control---or a judicial procedure, allowing for the registration of a voter who was not registered; the registration should not take place at the polling station on election day;
v. A similar procedure should allow voters to have incorrect inscriptions amended;
vi. A supplementary register may be a means of giving the vote to persons who have moved or reached statutory voting age since final publication of the register.
