Article 24
 

Claim for rectification A person who considers that he/she has been unlawfully omitted from the voting register, or that his or her entry in this is incorrect, may submit a written claim for rectification to the local register office by 4 p.m. at least 16 days prior to the polling day. A claim for rectification 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 by the enfranchised person reaches the local register office later than 51 days prior to the polling day, the enfranchised person cannot demand a rectification of the information regarding him or her in the voting register referred to in section 18, subsection 2(3-6) based on this notification of change of address. A claim for rectification may be submitted by using a form compiled for this purpose. The Population Registration Centre shall see to it that the local register offices and other locations which display the information in the voting register have these forms printed or copied.
