Validity of voting register

The voting register enters into force at 12.00 on the 12th day before the election day. 

The legally valid voting register shall be adhered to without alterations. The voting register is considered legally valid even if an administrative court has not issued a decision on an appeal lodged with the court before the voting register entered into force.

If someone has, manifestly erroneously, been listed in the voting register as ineligible to vote under section 26, subsection 1 or 5, the Population Register Centre may delete the entry from a legally valid register.

A person who on the election day provides the election board with a decision of an administrative court or the Supreme Administrative Court stating that he or she is entitled to vote, has the right to cast a vote. The person is obliged to submit the decision or a copy of it to the election board.
