...A voter registration exercise should provide procedures for people to challenge mistakes in the voters lists: Claims – People who believe that they are eligible to vote, but whose names do not appear accurately on the voters list should have the opportunity to have corrections made; and Objections – People should be allowed to question the eligibility of individuals whose names appear on the voters list, but who are believed to be ineligible.
