Publishing a revised register at any time during the year

Publishing a revised register at any time during the year

Other than the requirement to publish a revised register following the annual canvass you may revise the register at any time you consider it necessary. For example, you will need to publish a revised register following a review of local government boundaries or in order to implement a review of polling districts and places made by the local authority. 

If you decide to revise your register you must publish a notice 14 calendar days before the publication date.1  

Your revised register must incorporate all additions and requests for amendments to the register as a result of successful applications which have met the deadline for inclusion. 

Names of individuals from any other data sources or responses to canvass communications must not be included on the register unless an application for registration is successfully made and determined by you before the determination deadline for that register.

You should also give effect to any deletions that you have determined in time to be reflected in the revised register since the publication of the last notice of alteration.2
