A BEC spokesman said, pending the amendments, the two Regulations stipulated that the RO may at any time make available a copy or an extract from the provisional or final register to a person for any purpose related to an election.
The person is liable to a fine and imprisonment if he uses such information for a purpose irrelevant to an election.
The proposed amendments, to be gazetted and tabled in the Legislative Council tomorrow (Friday), were introduced after taking into account public views and comments on the electoral arrangement for the last Municipal Council ordinary elections on March 5.

Water quality at Chek Lap Kok site
The airport site at Chek Lap Kok is provided with chlorinated raw water for construction activities, which is also suitable for drinking and domestic use, a spokesman for the Water Supplies Department said today (Thursday).
Water is delivered from Cheung Sha to the airport site through a supply system which is also connected to some other construction sites at Tung Chung as well as some nearby villages.
"The quality of water at the source and along the supply network is continuously monitored and confirmed to be in full compliance with Water Supplies Department (WSD) standards," the spokesman said.
He said WSD received a complaint of unsatisfactory water quality at the airport site in late May. Two samples were taken from the site on May 29 for testing. The result of one of the samples was not satisfactory as indicated by the presence of E Coli and coliform organisms.
"We believe that the unsatisfactory water quality was due to a connection of the internal supply system to a contaminated water tank by one of the airport site contractors," he said.
