Electoral Act 1993

Registration of electors - Updating of electoral rolls

89E: No inquiry required if application for registration as elector received

You could also call this:

"No inquiry is needed if you've already applied to be an elector."

Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

If the Electoral Commission gets a completed application for registration as an elector during or just before an inquiry under section 89D, that application is considered complete. The Electoral Commission must tell you that you will not get an inquiry under section 89D if you have already applied. This means you do not need to worry about the inquiry if you have sent in your application.
