The nomination system encourages the community to nominate people by selecting their email address from the set of addresses the tracker already knows. In order to allow a person who does not yet have a datatracker account to be nominated, the system also provides a way for the community to nominate people with a new, previously unknown email address. When this option is chosen, a new Person record is created and associated with the new address.
Occasionally, this new address should have been associated with an existing person instead. This will happen particularly if the community member uses a slightly incorrect address (such as a typo), or knows the person they want to nominate by a very old or very new address that is not yet in the tracker. When this happens, you can use this form to ask the secretariat to merge the two Person records. The secretariat has a process for verifying that the addresses both belong to the same person, and a tool that can correct the relevant data.
On the other hand, if you have multiple Nominee records which refer to the same Person record, rather than to different Person records for the same individual, you should use the Merge Nominee Records form, not this form.
