By means of the amended Article 36(1) of Law No. 298, “voters cannot be deprived of their right to vote in any way due to the arrangement of the register. Those whose addresses are not visible in the address registration system as their addresses have been closed shall be registered in the electoral roll within the scope of the last valid address registration information which is available in the address registration system of the Directorate General of Population and Citizenship Affairs” (Article 9 of Law No. 7393). This is a supplementary safeguard against disenfranchisement due to administrative deficiencies, which is welcomed. However, Article 34 of the Law on Basic Provisions retains the rule that, in case a voter’s registration information contains deficiencies, the voter shall not be included into the polling board voter list and shall not be allowed to vote, unless the information is corrected. While the legislation expressly provides for “the completion of deficiencies”, the amendments do not appear to provide a mechanism for preventing the exclusion of voters when registration mistakes relate to data other than the address. It would be beneficial for the law to provide a foreseeable and comprehensive mechanism preventing disenfranchisement due to technical deficiencies in the voter registration process.
