Electoral Offences 2.5 Challenge The eligibility of a person applying to be registered as a voter could be challenged by an accredited person as per the Electoral laws, or a person qualified to register or even the registration officer involved. The said challenge passes through a kind of process which is discussed below. 2.5.1 The challenge procedure: In case of a challenge, the challenger makes his/her intentions known to the applicant and then to the registration officer. The challenger then fills a challenge form and states the reason or reasons for the challenge. The registration officer could even fill the form on behalf of the challenger. Here, the ID card of the person challenged is kept by the Registration Officer and handed over to the District Electoral Officer. The registration form and the completed challenge form are sent to the district registration review committee that is established by the Electoral Commission in each district after the registration exercise to adjudicate such cases. 30
