About this statute

This provision amends section 12(2) of the principal Act by inserting the word “new” after “registration of”. The Commission may set the inspection period for the Provisional Register of Voters, and a registered voter may inspect it electronically during that period. This provision changes Section 17(1) by replacing “ninety” with “fourteen.” Section 27(1) is amended so that “section 20” is deleted and replaced with “section 24”. The election timetable publication and amendment must also be made in a newspaper of general circulation in the Republic or in electronic media the Commission determines, in addition to the Gazette.
