Having the electoral roll for the European elections corrected

You can have the electoral roll for the European elections corrected as follows:

• If you discover that the electoral roll is incorrect or incomplete when you inspect it, you can lodge an objection with the municipal authority to have the electoral roll corrected. You must lodge your objection in writing or for the record with the municipal authority by the end of the objection period (16th day before the election) at the latest.
• If the alleged facts are not obvious, you must provide the necessary evidence.
• If the electoral roll is incorrect or incomplete, the municipal authority will correct the electoral roll. If you are subsequently entered in the electoral roll, you will receive an election notification.
• If the electoral roll is correct and complete, a rejection notice will be issued.
• The municipal authority must deliver its decision at the latest on the 10th day before the election and point out the admissible legal remedy.

An appeal against the decision of the municipal authority may be lodged within two days of notification.

Please contact your municipality.

If the electoral roll is incorrect or incomplete, the electoral roll will be corrected.

You need conclusive documents that prove the need to correct the electoral roll or, if there is no entry, proof of eligibility to vote.

There are no fees.

The objection must be submitted within the inspection period for the electoral roll (from the 20th to the 16th day before the election).
