79 Errors not to forfeit vote

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

(2) An elector is not disqualified from voting under the name appearing on the roll because the elector’s surname has been changed as a result of marriage but, in that case, a note of the fact is to be made by a deputy electoral officer.
