Removing repeated names and adjusting register of electors
51 Removing repeated names and adjusting register of electors
If the name of the same person appears more than once on the register of electors, or is enrolled in relation to more than 1 district, the Electoral Commissioner must cause all but the latest enrolled name to be removed.
The Electoral Commissioner may take such action and give such directions as the Electoral Commissioner considers necessary in order for the register of electors to be adjusted to give effect to a division of the State into districts.
