Correcting the electoral roll for the European elections

    Anyone who considers the electoral roll for the European elections to be incorrect or incomplete may lodge an objection and have the error corrected within the period for inspecting the electoral roll.

    Description

    If the electoral roll for the European elections contains incorrect information or is incomplete, you can have this corrected. Within the inspection period for the electoral roll from the 20th to the 16th day before the election, a correction is possible by lodging an objection with the municipal authority in due form and time. An appeal against the decision of the municipal authority may be lodged within two days of notification of the decision.

    If the electoral roll is obviously incorrect or incomplete, the municipal authority may also correct the error ex officio.
