Proposed rules to guard against misuse of voters' data
The Boundary and Election Commission (BEC) proposes to tighten up its' provisions to safeguard against misuse of information on the voter register by restricting the request for and the use of such data exclusively for the purpose related to a particular election.
Under the new provisions, the Registration Officer (RO) is required to specify the particular election in respect of which the copy or extract of the provisional or the final register may be used, when such a copy or extract is required.
The provisions also makes it an offence, punishable with a fine of $5,000 and imprisonment up to six months, for a person to use or permit another person to use any information in that copy or extract of the register for a purpose other than the particular election specified by the RO.
Amendments are contained in the Boundary and Election Commission (Registration of Electors) (Geographical Constituencies) (Amendment) Regulation 1995 and the Boundary and Election Commission (Registration of Electors) (Functional Constituencies and Election Committee Constituencies) (Amendment) Regulation 1995.
