Paragraph 44
 

The Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR therefore reiterate their recommendations both to abolish the “removed persons list” and to introduce reasonable deadlines for changes and judicial involvement for election day registration. The authorities should also effectively clean up voter lists, starting by updating the civil register. This would imply gathering accurate and current information from various administrations and state services in order to remove from the electoral roll inter alia deceased persons, persons residing abroad and duplicate entries. In addition, data from tax, pension and other registers could be used to update and enhance electoral rolls.
