(a)for the time being registered (whether provisionally or finally) under the 1965 Act; or

(b)registered under the Land Registration Acts 1925 and 1936 (and not extinguished before that date).

(4)A commoner may nominate a relative to appear on the list in his place.

(5)Any person whose name does not appear on that list and who claims to be entitled to be included in that list under subparagraph (1) above, may apply to the returning officer up to the day mentioned in subparagraph (2) above to be included in the list; and if, on such an application, it appears to the returning officer that the person should be included in the list the returning officer shall amend the list accordingly.
