Section 21
 

(1) The municipal authority keeps the electoral register available for inspection at least  at the administrative centre of the municipality on the working days from the twentieth to the sixteenth day before the election during normal opening hours. If an automated  process is used to maintain the electoral register, inspection through a data terminal can  also be facilitated. Care must be taken to ensure that remarks are displayed in plain text  (section 23 subsection (3)). The data terminal may only be operated by an employee of the  municipal authority.


(2) (Repealed)


(3) Within the inspection period, eligible voters are allowed to obtain extracts from the  electoral register if this is in the context of verifying the voting rights of specific individuals.  The extracts may be used for this purpose only and may not be made available to  uninvolved third parties.
