Paragraph 19
 

The Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters stipulates also that the electoral registers must be published and there should be an administrative procedure - subject to judicial control - or a judicial procedure enabling voters to have erroneous entries corrected or, if they are not on the register, to have their names included.[8] Sufficient time should be allowed for public scrutiny, appeals, decisions and revisions. Amendment to the registers on Election Day can lead to abuse and should not be necessary if sufficient time is allowed for prior consideration and amendment of the registers.[9
