Senator Di Natale [explained that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2017-09-11.22.1): > *This amendment provides a mechanism whereby Australians who are eligible to vote but who might not be on the electoral role—or, alternatively, are on the role but not at the correct address—can enrol to vote or update their address at a polling centre on election day, or, if they go earlier, at an early voting centre. It's a very straightforward amendment. It basically says: if you're not enrolled or if you're enrolled at the incorrect address, you can update your enrolment details when you go to vote at a polling booth. Effectively it means that those people who, for whatever reason, don't have the correct details on the electoral role are able to update them on the day of the election.* ### Amendment text > *(1) Clause 2, page 2 (at the end of the table), add:* > >> *[See [Hansard](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Hansard/Hanssen261110) for this addition.]* > > *(2) Page 45 (after line 5), at the end of the Bill, add:* > >> *Schedule 3—Polling Day Enrolment* >> >> *Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918* >> >> *1 At the end of section 98* >> >>> *Add:* >>> >>> *(6) A provisional vote cast under section 235 by a person who is entitled to enrolment, but is not currently enrolled, shall qualify as a claim to enrolment under this section.* >> >> *2 At the end of subsection 102(5)* >> >>> *Add:* >>> >>> *(5A) If a claim under section 101 is made on the polling day for an election; then, despite subsection (4):* >>> >>>> *(a) the claim must be regarded as having been received before the start of the suspension period; and* >>>> >>>> *(b) if the claimant's name is entered on t
