Article 12 Entries carried forwardI1
England, Wales and Scotland
Where a person’s entry in the register was carried forward on the conclusion of the final old canvass, the registration officer in whose register the entry appears may, within the period specified in article 6(2), check whether the person is entitled to remain registered by means of the process set out in article 7(1) to (6).
Articles 9 and 10 apply in relation to checks under paragraph (1) as they apply to verification under article 7.
Where, at the first new canvass, a canvass form is completed and returned in respect of the person and the address to which the entry relates—
the registration officer must take the results of the check into account in determining whether the person is entitled to remain registered,
where the registration officer is satisfied that there is evidence of a kind specified in article 7(8), the registration officer is to treat the person’s entitlement to remain registered as confirmed, and
article 7(9) applies as it applies to verification under that article.
Where a registration officer has confirmed a person’s entitlement to remain registered under this article, article 11 applies as it applies to confirmation under article 6.
