The Revision Court
Extracted from A Framework for Voter Education, by I. Myrtle Palacio
The Revision Court provides for legal reviews of New Applicants and Current or Continued Electors. The Revision Court is the sole arbiter and authority on who makes the list of Electors as in the case of a New Applicant, or who remains on the list of Electors as on the case of Current or Continued Electors. The legal review is held at each Magistrate's Court in all five District Towns and in the Cities of Belize and Belmopan. The Revision Court is presided over by a Magistrate, and as required by law (ROPA) conducted at the end of each month. The date is administratively set by Registering Officer and/or Chief Elections Officer in conjunction with the Magistrate responsible for the particular District. The Court has until the 5th day of the following month to complete its determination on all matters.
There are 3 (three) periods or types of Revision as required by law (ROPA). In setting the date for Revision, time must be allotted for the entire Objection Process.
j A Monthly Revision is conducted to review all New Applicants on the Supplementary List resulting in a Revised List of Electors.
k An Annual Revision takes place in November to review the status of Continued Registration resulting in an Annual Divisional List of Electors. Annual Revision is conducted on or before November 20, after the close of the Objection Period on November 1st.
l February, May, June, July and August are also months when Current or Continued registration is reviewed for the removal of electors who are not qualified to remain on the List of Electors.

Worry is like a rocking chair: It gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere.
