Objection proceedings

(1) An elector may verify during office hours whether he or she is registered in a permanent register and may request that the registered information be supplemented or corrected. A municipality shall carry out such a request or inform the elector in writing and within three days why the request cannot be carried out.

(2) If a municipality does not rectify a mistake or omission in the permanent register, the elector concerned may petition the district court with jurisdiction for the respective polling district that it order the municipality to correct or complete the information about him or her in the permanent register. Such proceedings are subject to a separate law.[7] On the basis of such a court order, a municipality shall amend the permanent register. On polling day, the polling district commission shall so amend the register of electors eligible to vote in the polling district (in this Act referred to as an "electoral register").
