What instances can cause someone to be removed from the electoral roll, if any?

Answer

I am advised a person can be removed from the electoral rolls for the following reasons: • They are no longer eligible because of the time they have been outside of New Zealand • They have moved overseas and no longer want to be registered to vote for New Zealand elections, even though they are still eligible • They are detained in a hospital or secure facility and are disqualified from registration under section 80(1)(c)(i) to (iv) of the Electoral Act 1993 (the Act) • They have been sentenced to a period of imprisonment and are not eligible under section 80(1)(d) of the Act • Their name is on the Corrupt Practices List • They are moved from the main roll to the dormant roll pursuant to sections 89G, 95A(4) or 96(4) of the Act • They are removed from the dormant roll pursuant to section 109(2)(d) of the Act • The Electoral Commission has been notified of the elector’s death • The Electoral Commission is satisfied the person is not qualified to be an elector, following an objection process under section 95 or 96 of the Act
