Paragraph 58
 

In the Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters, the Venice Commission identified several principles that should govern the operation of voters’. These principles include, inter alia, permanency of such registers as well as their regular updates, carried out at least once a year. Moreover, “there should be an administrative procedure – subject to judicial control – or a judicial procedure enabling electors not on the register to have their names included”. In line with these electoral standards, a similar procedure should make it possible to have inaccurate and erroneous entries in the register corrected.
