Paragraph 65
 
65.  The problems generated by the Electoral Fraud (Northern Ireland) Act 2002 pushed the Government to enact the Electoral Registration (Northern Ireland) Act 2005, which ordered the reinsertion into the electoral register of names previously removed. Thus, this Act reinstated electors onto the register who had been previously registered, but chose not to re-register, as a transitional measure. For achieving this task, the later Act set up temporary amendments in Subsection 7 of Section 10A.[35]
