Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

A person wishing to appeal against the decision of a registration officer under article 3(1) (registration and absent voting appeals) must give notice of the appeal and the grounds of the appeal to the registration officer within 14 days of the receipt of the notice given under paragraph 12(4).

(2)

The registration officer must forward any such notice to the county court in the manner directed by rules of court together with a statement of—

(a)

the material facts which in the registration officer’s opinion have been established in the case,

(b)

the registration officer’s decision upon the whole case, and

(c)

the registration officer’s decision on any point which may be specified as a ground of appeal.

(3)

Where it appears to the registration officer that any notices of appeal received are based on similar grounds, the registration officer must inform the county court of this to enable the court, if it thinks fit, to consolidate the appeals or select a test case.
