This seems to be the easiest/fastest way to accomplish your goal.

The electoral rolls will be generated after September 26, 2014 05:59
UTC, so please have any and all changes merged to the extra-atcs file
prior to that date/time to ensure those names are included in the
intended projects for the ptl and tc electoral rolls. (The cut off date
for eligibility is the same for both elections.)

Thanks, let me know if there are any other questions/details I can help
with,
Anita.
