Corrections to the electoral register.

• Any complaints regarding an electoral register shall be directed to Registers Iceland, which shall immediately consider these and make appropriate corrections to the electronic electoral register when appropriate. Such corrections may be made up until and including polling day. The electronic electoral register may be corrected if:

a. Registers Iceland has failed to register the domicile address of a voter in accordance with the voter’s notification of a change of domicile address,

b. Registers Iceland receives information that a voter has died,

c. Registers Iceland receives information that a foreign national has acquired Icelandic citizenship or that a voter has lost Icelandic citizenship,

d. Registers Iceland receives information that a Danish citizen is entitled to vote in Iceland under the Act on the Rights of Danish Citizens in Iceland No. 18/1944, cf. Article 1 of Act No. 85/1946 on Arrangements Concerning the Separation between Iceland and Denmark,

e. an Icelandic citizen who has never been domiciled in Iceland or who has lost eligibility to vote under paragraph 2 of Article 3 moves to Iceland and reregisters his or her domicile in Iceland after the reference date of the electoral register,

f. Registers Iceland becomes otherwise aware of an error having been made in the registration of a voter during the compilation of the electoral register.

• Registers Iceland shall send the relevant municipal councils and the voter in question, if applicable, a notification of any corrections it makes to the electronic electoral register. Registers Iceland shall also send the relevant electoral commission notification of any corrections to the electronic electoral register in order that they may be made to the printed electoral register copies if the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 35 apply.


• Registers Iceland issues directions on how corrections shall be entered in the printed electoral register copies of municipal councils. Municipal councils are not permitted to enter any corrections to printed copies of electoral registers other than corrections authorised by Registers Icel
