Clause 21

A person who, by reason of circumstances existing on the day of an election, is by virtue of the provisions of this Act or the Parliamentary Elections Act [Cap. 218], not entitled to have his name entered or retained in any register of electors shall not be entitled to vote at the election, and if that person votes at the election, he shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $500 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months.

The register of electors in operation in accordance with the Parliamentary Elections Act at the time of any election shall be conclusive evidence for the purpose of determining whether a person is or is not entitled to vote at the election, and the right of voting of any person whose name is for the time being contained in the register shall not be prejudiced by any appeal pending before a Revising Officer in respect of the inclusion of that person’s name in the register, and any vote given by that person during the pendency of that appeal shall be as good as though no such appeal were pending and shall not be affected by the subsequent decision of the appeal.

For the purposes of this section, “Revising Officer” means a Revising Officer appointed under section 12 of the Parliamentary Elections Act [Cap. 218].
