You must provide each petition clerk with the appropriate part of the register for their signing place and appropriate absent signing lists.1
Petition clerks and assistants should have been trained on the various franchise markers that will appear on the register – electors who can vote in a parliamentary election are entitled to sign the petition.
You should ensure that all printed registers are checked to ensure that they are complete, reflect any recent additions or deletions to the register, and that the appropriate franchise markers are in place.
You should put procedures in place to deal with any necessary amendments to the registers and proxy lists after they have been printed resulting from alterations as a result of correcting clerical errors or court decisions and the granting of emergency proxy applications. You should also have a method in place for communicating the relevant information to petition clerks, including the process to follow, covering how they should record the names and elector numbers of anyone issued a signing sheet following a late alteration to the register.
