Vol. 1 No. 28

DISQUALIFICATIONS. - REGISTRATION.

1. Any person who of his own application is registered, or who of his own application attempts to be registered, more than once as an elector entitled to vote at a general election, or who of his own application is or attempts to be registered without being duly qualified to be so registered, shall be liable on conviction to a penalty of £25 (Twentyfive pounds), provided that where the registration of a person is objected to, and such person claims to be registered in some other capacity, or in some other constituency, such claim shall not be regarded as an offence against this section so long as the claimant informs the Registration Officer of the decision on this objection.
2. Any person who causes, or who attempts to cause, another person to be registered more than once as an elector entitled to vote at a general election, or who causes or attempts to cause such other person to be registered without the necessary qualifications, shall be liable on conviction to a penalty of £50 (fifty pounds).
3. In each of the foregoing cases the Court shall report to the Registration Officer and to the Returning Officer for the constituency the name and address of any person found to have been wrongly registered, and the consequential amendment or deletion shall be made in the Register, notwithstanding the fact that such Register may have come into force. And where the Court are satisfied that the offence was committed by or with the knowledge of such person the Court may also order that the name of such person shall not appear on so many successive Register, not exceeding ten, as may be ordered, and the name of such person shall be included in the Corrupt and Illegal Practices List made under Section 39 of the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Prevention Act, 1883, at present in force; and Sections 36 and 37 of the said Act of 1883 shall apply to any conviction under this section.
