A registration officer or enumerator who wilfully and without reasonable excuse, omits to register the name of any person entitled to be registered commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of $500 or to imprisonment for 12 months or to both such fine and imprisonment, and in addition shall forfeit his or her right to payment for his or her services as a registration officer or enumerator, as the case may be, and shall be incapable during a period of 7 years from the date of his or her conviction—
-
(a) of being qualified as an elector;
-
(b) of being elected a member of the House and in the event of an appeal the incapacity shall continue until the appeal is determined and thereafter, unless the conviction is quashed, remain in force for a period of 7 years from the determination of the appeal unless the court hearing the appeal shall direct that the period of 7 years shall run from the date of conviction.
