Background and earlier position: electoral rolls are critical for election administration

Electoral rolls (voter rolls) are the official lists of eligible voters for each constituency. Election administration uses voter rolls for voter identification and for ensuring that eligible voters are recorded accurately in official election records.

Election administration generally follows a staged approach. Draft voter-roll data are prepared and made available for verification and correction through a grievance mechanism before final roll publication.
