The accountable person for a registered how‑to‑vote card may apply to the Electoral Commissioner to replace the registered how‑to‑vote card with another how‑to‑vote card (the replacement how‑to‑vote card).

The application must —

be in writing; and

state that the person, political party or group seeks to replace a registered how‑to‑vote card; and

be accompanied by the replacement how‑to‑vote card; and

state the differences between the registered how‑to‑vote card and the replacement how‑to‑vote card; and

if the differences correct an error on the registered how‑to‑vote card — state the error.

If the Electoral Commissioner considers the replacement how‑to‑vote card is suitable to be registered, the Electoral Commissioner must —

register the replacement how‑to‑vote card; and

cancel the registration of the previous how‑to‑vote card; and

give the applicant under subsection (1) a written notice stating the decision and the reasons for the decision.

If the Electoral Commissioner considers the replacement how‑to‑vote card is not suitable to be registered, the Electoral Commissioner must —

refuse to register the replacement how‑to‑vote card; and

give the applicant under subsection (1) a written notice stating —

the decision; and

the reasons for the decision.
