Electoral Roll

Display of The Voter List or Electoral Roll in Election Law

Procedure in which an election authority makes voter lists available to the public, for example in towns and villages, after the process of voter registration has been completed. The purpose is to allow citizens who registered to make sure that their names appear on the list. If they have been omitted, or there is an error in their name, they can request it to be rectified. Displaying the lists also allows citizens to contest the inclusion of names that should not be there. The person making the claim will be required to provide proof to warrant the removal of a name, on the basis of the death or disqualification of a voter, for example.
