LORD HOWE ISLAND REGULATION 2004 - REG 39

39 Errors not to forfeit vote

(1) An omission of any given name, or entry of a wrong given name, address or occupation, or a mistake in the spelling of any surname, does not warrant the rejection of any claim to vote if, in the opinion of the returning officer, the elector is sufficiently identified.

(2) A female elector is not disqualified from voting under the name appearing on the roll because her surname has been changed as a result of marriage, but, in that case, a note of the fact must be made by the returning officer.
