Paragraph 76
 
76.  However, the continuous registration system based on individual registration - implemented through the different amendments in the last five years – also meets the standards of the Council of Europe. It enables the electors to register personally through a registration application form, for which they need to provide the personal information requested. Some of this information will be used at the polling station for checking the identity of the elector. It also permits to delete errors and to introduce changes, e.g. change of address, when needed.
