Paragraph 47
 

VI. Voter lists and voter registration


As noted in paragraph 40 above, the draft Code remains relatively unchanged in the three areas where recommendations were made for the improvement of legislation regulating voter registration. The procedures for creating and revising the voter lists and the lists of “removed persons” do not increase the accuracy of the lists or public confidence in the integrity of the lists. The procedures simply create greater opportunities for a person to be included as a voter at late stages in the electoral process, on election day, and in some instances without any judicial oversight or involvement.
