A majority of the countries providing for specific time limits for adjudicating complaints on potential mistakes on the voter list or the absence of registration, provide for short periods. This is welcome in order to avoid disenfranchisement. Two countries provide for longer time limits whereas 44 out of the 59 countries analysed do not provide explicit provisions regarding the time limits for adjudicating such complaints. It is essential that voters be able to request on time corrections on voter lists, including their registration in case of unjustified absence from the electoral registers. This should be done very quickly, within the official period provided for scrutiny and corrections on voter lists, in order to allow all eligible voters to vote at the next elections.
