Paragraph 46
 

The 2004 Joint Recommendations read as follows:

65. The procedure for scrutinising voters’ lists should be reformed. Article 39 (1) and Article 40 (1) state that the lists will be published in at least ten days prior to Election Day. This does not give enough time for voters to examine them or for new lists to be printed after corrections.

66. Voters should be given a real chance to review preliminary voters’ lists well in advance of elections. Such reviews may include the voter him or herself, but even other entries, which may be wrong (like deceased people). Parties should also have a fair chance to review the lists. After the review period, the lists should be amended before the final lists are distributed. This means that the scrutiny period should start months before an election, not days. Therefore, it is suggested to publish the lists in each place, for instance 30 days before Election Day, to permit voters to check voters’ lists. […]
