Correction of entries in electoral roll

CORRECTION OF ENTRIES IN ELECTORAL ROLL.— If the Electoral Registration Officer, on application made to him or on his own motion, is satisfied after such enquiry as he thinks fit, that any entry in an electoral roll,-

1. (a) is erroneous or defective in any particulars; or
2. (b) should be transposed to another electoral roll on the ground that the person concerned has changed his place of ordinary residence; or
3. (c) should be deleted on the ground that the person concerned is dead or has ceased to be an ordinarily resident in a ward or is otherwise not entitled to be registered in that roll, the Electoral Registration Officer shall amend, transpose or delete the entry, as the case may be: Provided that before taking any action on any ground under clause (a) or clause (b) or any action under clause (c) on the ground that the person concerned has ceased to be ordinarily resident in a ward or, that he is otherwise not entitled to be registered in an electoral roll, the Electoral Registration Officer shall give the person concerned a reasonable opportunity of being heard in respect of the action proposed to be taken in relation to him.
