216. A board of revisors, on its own initiative or on request, may review or revoke a decision to remove or refuse to register a person

(1)  when a new fact is discovered which, had it been known in time, could have warranted a different decision; or

(2)  when the person concerned was unable to submit observations for reasons considered sufficient.

After a board of revisors has completed its work, its powers under this section may be exercised by a special board of revisors.

216. If, when an application for the striking of a name is examined, the board of revisors concludes that the person concerned by the application is entitled to be registered on the list of electors for another polling subdivision in its territorial jurisdiction, the board of revisors must enter the name of the person on such latter list and strike it from the list on which it was originally entered.

If, however, the board of revisors concludes that the person concerned by the application must be registered on a list of electors subject to the jurisdiction of another board of revisors in the same electoral division, it shall transmit its decision to the latter board.

1989, c. 1, s. 216.
