72. The alteration of the registers pending elections follows different rules in the case of parliamentary elections in Northern Ireland (Section 13BA). One important difference with respect to the general rules of Section 13B is the time-limit to alter the registers pending elections, since the general rule is that the changes will have effect if they are made before the eleventh day prior to the date of the poll,[39] whereas related to Northern Ireland they will have effect if they are made before the final nomination date.[40]
