Section 14
 

(1) In years when elections of Danish MEPs are to be held, the local council prepares electoral registers of voters in the municipality. The local council may decide that an electronic electoral list shall be used for one or more or all polling districts.


(2) The same rule as for electoral registers laid down in the Folketing (Parliamentary) Elections Act applies to preparation of the electoral register and to entry on this register of any person holding a franchise under section 3(1)(i) or (iv). For admission to the electoral register of voters subject to section 3a or 3b, however, section 14b is applicable. If the voter moves from or to the Faroe Islands or Greenland, the rules applicable in case of migration to or from Denmark
apply, except in the cases subject to the second sentence hereof.


(3) Persons holding a franchise under section 3(1)(ii) and who are not entered in the electoral register pursuant to subsection (2) are entered on a special electoral register in the municipality of the City of Copenhagen upon request. The Minister for the Interior and Health may lay down rules for entry in the register and for preparation of the register.


(4) Any person entered in the electoral register pursuant to subsections (2) or (3) is deleted from the electoral register if the Minister for the Interior and Health receives information that the relevant person is included in the electoral register to vote in elections to the European Parliament in another member state of the European Union.


(5) The Minister for the Interior and Health may lay down more specific rules governing the preparation of the electoral registers pursuant to the first sentence of subsection (2) and heir layout.


(6) The Minister for the Interior and Health lays down the rules for deletion from the electoral register in accordance with subsection (4).
