This could result in much improved lists, by removing duplicate entries and entries of deceased persons and addressing other remaining deficiencies, including the problem of citizens outside the country whose names are not marked as such on the voter lists. A crucial step to build broad public confidence in the quality of the lists would be for the procedures to be used during the revision to be discussed and broadly agreed in a public process among election stakeholders, including especially political parties.
