23. Inclusion of names in electoral
rolls
(1) Any person whose
name is not included in the electoral roll of a constituency may apply to the
electoral registration officer for the inclusion of his name in that roll.
(2) The electoral
registration officer shall, if satisfied that the applicant is entitled to be
registered in the electoral roll, direct his name to be included therein:

registration officer shall inform the electoral registration officer of that
other constituency and that officer shall, on receipt of the information,
strike off the applicant's name from that roll.
(3) No amendment,
transposition or deletion of any entry shall be made under section 22 and no

for an election in that constituency or in the parliamentary constituency
within which that constituency is comprised and before the completion of that
election.]
