204U: Alterations to register

You could also call this:

"Changing the voter list to keep it up to date and correct"

Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

The Electoral Commission can make changes to the register at any time to reflect changes in information, such as what is mentioned in section 204O. You can think of the register like a big list that needs to be kept up to date. The Electoral Commission can also make changes to correct any mistakes they or others have made.
