(a)the registration officer is unable to satisfy himself that P was, on the 15th October in question, resident at that address because—

(ii)for any other reason, insufficient information was obtained as to whether P was resident at that address on that date; or

(3) Condition B is that in the 12 month period before the conclusion of the canvass—
