Effect of register of electorsU.K.

4.—(1) Any entry in the register of electors, if it gives a date as that on which the person named will attain voting age, is conclusive for any purpose of this Part relating to that person as elector that until the date given in the entry the person is not of voting age nor entitled to be treated as an elector except for the purposes of a PCC election at which the day fixed for the poll is that or a later date.

(a)that the person is not of voting age;

(b)that the person [F1is not or was not at any particular time]—

(i)a Commonwealth citizen,
