(Relief of Persons Omitted in Electoral Register)

(1) Where the head of Gu/Si/Gun makes an error so that a rightful elector is found to be omitted in the electoral register from the day following the
date when the objection period expires as provided in Article 41 (1) to the day preceding the date when the electoral register becomes final as provided in Article 44 (1), the elector in question or the head of the Gu/Si/Gun concerned may request the competent Gu/Si/Gun election commission in writing to enter the omitted person in the electoral register, by appending explanatory materials, such as a certified copy of such person's resident registration card.

(2) The competent Gu/Si/Gun election commission shall, upon receiving a request as provided in paragraph (1), examine and decide on it, by the
