With regard to voter registration and voter lists’ corrections, 53 countries provide the voter with the right to lodge a complaint in first instance either to the competent election commission or to an ad hoc committee. This is logical as for practical reasons, the competent body has to be geographically close to the voters, who should have a direct access to the voter list. Moreover, the procedure, subject to judicial control, must be simple in order to respect the principle of universal suffrage by offering to a maximum of citizens a chance to vote, leaving a short but reasonable deadline for such control of the voter lists.
