The methods used to add data to a voter register database will depend on the different ways in which voter data can be received (see Voter Registration System Input Sources for information on the different sources available and ways of processing and verifying data).
Data amendment can be required for a number of reasons, including:
- Where the voter has notified the need for an amendment (such as a change of address notification)
- Where an external agency has notified the need for an amendment
- Where the EMB has identified an error in data input
- Where an event has occurred requiring data to be updated (such as a change to electoral district boundaries)
The methods used to amend data in a voter register database will depend on the different ways in which the amendments can be notified (again, see Voter Registration System Input Sources).
