35A Electoral Commissioner may revise register of electors due to information received from Commonwealth or State
In this section —
received information, about a person, means information the Electoral Commissioner receives about the person under section 31A or 35.
If the Electoral Commissioner considers, based on received information about a person, that the person is entitled to be enrolled, the Electoral Commissioner may enrol the person.
If the Electoral Commissioner considers, based on received information about a person who is enrolled for a district, that the person’s primary residential address in the district (the new address) is different to the elector’s electoral address, the Electoral Commissioner may change the elector’s electoral address to the new address.
If the Electoral Commissioner considers, based on received information about a person, that the person is incorrectly enrolled for a district (the first district), but that person is entitled to be enrolled for another district (the second district), the Electoral Commissioner may amend the register of electors to change the district for which the person is enrolled from the first district to the second district.
If the Electoral Commissioner considers, based on received information about a person who is enrolled for a district, that the person is not entitled to be enrolled for that district, the Electoral Commissioner may remove the person’s name from the register of electors in relation to the district.
