9 List of electors
(1) As soon as practicable after the day fixed under section 14 for the close of the *Rolls, the Electoral Commissioner must cause a *list of electors for each State and Territory to be compiled.
(2) The list for a State or Territory is a list of the names and addresses of all persons whose names:
(a) appear on the *Roll for the State or Territory; and
(b) would be required, if the election were an election of Senators to be held on the *closing day of the poll, to be included on a certified list used for the purposes of the Senate election under section 208 of the CEA.
(3) The list is not to be compiled until claims to which subsection (4) applies have been dealt with under the CEA.
(4) This subsection applies to a claim if:
(a) it is a claim under section 102 (age 17 enrolment) or subsection 103(1) (enrolment or transfer of enrolment) of the CEA; and
(b) the claim is received before 8 pm on the day fixed under section 14 for the close of the *Rolls.
(5) Nothing in this Act is to be taken to require the address of a person to be included on the *list of electors if the person’s address is not shown on the *Roll because of section 106 of the CEA.
