Rectification request

A person who considers that he or she has been unlawfully omitted from the voting register or that the register entry concerning him or her is erroneous may submit a written rectification request to the local register office 16 days before the election day by 16.00 at the latest.

A rectification request may also be based on such factors affecting the right to vote which have occurred after the voting register was established.

If a notification of change of address as referred to in the Municipality of Residence Act filed by an eligible voter reaches the local register office later than 51 days before the election day, the person cannot request rectification of the information concerning him or her referred to in section 18, subsection 2, paragraphs 3–6 contained in the voting register based on this notification of change of address.

A rectification request may be submitted by using a form provided for this purpose. The Population Register Centre shall ensure that the local register offices and other locations which display the information contained in the voting register have these forms printed or copied.
