86 New Rolls on creation of new Divisions etc
Where:
a Division is divided into Subdivisions;
a new Division or a new Subdivision is created; or
the boundaries of an existing Division or of an existing Subdivision are altered;
new Rolls shall be prepared in respect of each Division or Subdivision created or otherwise affected by reason of the circumstance referred to in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) by making any necessary transfer of electors between Rolls for existing Divisions or Subdivisions or between Rolls for existing Divisions or Subdivisions and Rolls for new Divisions or Subdivisions.
A transfer of electors for the purposes of subsection (1) between one Roll and another Roll shall be effected by removing the names and other particulars of the electors from the Roll on which the names of those electors are presently entered and entering the names and other particulars of those electors on the Roll to which those electors are to be transferred.
Where, for the purposes of subsection (1), electors are transferred between Rolls:
in a case where, in the opinion of the Electoral Commissioner, a reasonably effective notification of that transfer can be given by notice published in a newspaper—the Electoral Commissioner shall cause notice of that transfer to be so published in that newspaper; and
in a case to which paragraph (a) does not apply—the Electoral Commissioner:
must cause a notice of that transfer to be delivered to the address of each elector affected by the transfer; and
may cause a notice of that transfer to be delivered to other addresses.
