You can ask to see the electoral roll at a meeting or hui. The electoral officer must make it available for you to look at. They will choose someone to supervise you while you look at the roll. You can make this request for any meeting or hui. The electoral officer will only say yes if they think a lot of people will be there. The electoral officer decides when and where you can look at the roll.
