(1) Anyone who deems the electoral register to be incorrect or incomplete may lodge an  objection within the inspection period.

(2) The objection must be lodged with the municipal authority in writing or as a minuted  statement. If the assertions are not obvious, the objecting party must produce the requisite  evidence. An eligible voter with disabilities may seek the assistance of another person to  this end; section 57 applies accordingly.

(3) If the municipal authority intends to uphold an objection to the inclusion of another  person in the electoral register, it must give the person concerned the opportunity to  comment before taking its decision.

(4) The municipal authority must serve its decision to the objecting party and the person  concerned not later than the tenth day before the election and must advise them of the  legal remedies available. When the municipal authority upholds an objection whose  purpose is to enter the person concerned in the electoral register, it does so by amending the electoral register and sending the eligible voter a voter's notification. In the cases  specified in section 18 subsections (3) to (6), it notifies the competent authorities of the  entry without delay.

(5) An appeal against the decision of the municipal authority may be lodged with the  Constituency Returning Officer within two days after the decision has been served. The  appeal must be lodged with the municipal authority in writing or by means of a minuted

28

statement; subsection (2), third sentence, applies accordingly. The municipal authority  submits the appeal with the relevant files to the Constituency Returning Officer without  delay. The Constituency Returning Officer must decide on the appeal not later than the  fourth day before the election; subsection (3) applies accordingly. The decision on the  appeal must be communicated to the parties involved and to the municipal authority. It is final, unless otherwise decided in the electoral scrutiny procedure.
