Enrolment
GENERAL UPDATE:
• Enrolment form processing is complete, and the team has moved onto Special Vote Declarations (SVDs).
• As at midday today, there were 131,503 SVD forms in the enrolment queue for processing. 11,413 have been
processed and await the second check.
• As at midday we have not received any SVDs from electorates 46 (Southland), 59 (Waitaki) and 66 (Hauraki-
Waikato).
• Note that individual forms are returned to Electorate HQ as they are completed. We process a form from the
SVD queue (from the batch sent through to us), it then goes into the "second check" queue. Once the second
check is completed the form is immediately returned to VS.
• Some SVD forms within a batch may be processed slightly differently, as they require a manual qualification
