62. Despite the system described above (see paragraphs 9-12) Northern Ireland has special rules for registration of voters that regulate:
- A system of individual registration, providing the personal data required
- The duty of the Chief Electoral Officer to conduct a canvass according to the timing settled by the Act, rather than each year as in Great Britain;
- The additional information that the voter must provide in order to be included in the register;
- The relevant registration objectives;
- The alteration of registers pending elections;
- The electoral identity card.[32]
