Paragraph 67
 

Finally, the transfer of legal and administrative authority over Voter List activities could help address a couple issues raised previously – the voting certificates issued to refugees and others for voting outside their areas of registered residence, and the complex structure of directives (mandatory instruction, “Reminder” and judicial decision) which has been relied upon to permit voters with longer-term residence abroad to vote without certificates. If the SEC were to take over direct responsibility for the Voter Lists commissions formed at the municipal level, then the SEC might be able to address this problem through the sole device of a mandatory instruction to its employees.
