39H. Correction to supplementary list of claimants
(1) The registration officer shall make such additions and
corrections to the supplementary list of claimants as are required
to give effect to his decision on any objection, and shall also make
Acts 2025 15
any such correction in that list, whether by way of the removal of
duplicate entries (subject to any expression of choice by the persons
affected as to those entries), the expunging of the names of persons
who are dead or subject to any legal incapacity, the correction of
clerical errors or otherwise, in order to ensure that no person is
registered as an elector in respect of more than one qualification in
the same electoral area and that the list will be complete and accurate
as a supplementary register.
(2) Where, on consideration of an objection, it appears
to the registration officer that the person in respect of whose
registration objection is taken, is not entitled to be entered on the
supplementary list of claimants under the qualification in which he
claims to be registered or in which he is entered on the list, but is
entitled to be entered on the supplementary list of claimants under
another qualification, the registration officer may decide that the
name of that person shall be entered accordingly.
(3) Where the registration officer makes a correction in
the supplementary list of claimants, otherwise than in pursuance of
an objection, or for the purpose of correcting a clerical error, he shall
give notice to the person affected by the correction.
