ELECTIONS REGULATIONS

PART II. REGISTER OF ELECTORS

Preparation of registers and publication

2. (1) Subject to any directions of the Electoral Commission under the powers conferred by section 63(1) of the Constitution, the Electoral Officer for every electoral district shall compile and keep as provided herein a register of electors for each ward of the electoral district in the form set out in the Schedule.

(2) The register of electors shall be available for inspection by the public at the office of the Electoral Officer during normal office hours.

(3) The Chief Electoral Officer, with the approval of the Electoral Commission, may, in his discretion, direct, either generally or in respect of a particular electoral district or ward, that a new register or registers of electors shall be compiled and kept and, when he makes such a direction, the existing register or registers of electors shall be void and of no effect from the date specified in the direction.

Comment

There seems no clear regulations in this regard. However, reading the Article 2(3) of the ELECTIONS REGULATIONS one can assume that the registration is periodic.
