Paragraph 44
 

VI. Voter lists and voter registration


Article 40 of the draft Code grants another opportunity for a voter to be removed from the “removed persons” list on election day. On election day, Article 40 allows a voter who is “entered on the list of the removed persons” to vote “if he/she presents a certificate from the municipality that the reason has become irrelevant or that there is no reason for entry thereof on the roll or if he shows up at the polling station, which has jurisdiction according to the permanent address […]”. The certificate is issued by the municipality on “a standard form as approved by the CEC, subject to a verification check of whether there is or there is not a reason for entry of the person on the roll.” Article 40(3) provides that, upon presentation of the certificate and the voter’s identity document, “the voter shall be excluded from the list of the removed persons and all his details shall be entered in the additional page of the electoral roll”.
