Electoral Act 1993

Registration of electors - Removal of names from roll and alterations to roll

100: Corrupt Practices List

You could also call this:

"People who broke voting rules: a list of names of those convicted in the last three years"

Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

If you are registered to vote or want to register to vote in a district, and you have been convicted of a corrupt practice in the last three years, the Electoral Commission must put your name on a list called the Corrupt Practices List. The list will have your name, where you live, and what you were convicted of. You will stay on the list for three years, or until the High Court says you can be removed. When a new voting list is printed for a district, the Corrupt Practices List for that district will be added to it. If a supplementary voting list is printed, any new information about corrupt practices will be added to it.
