A New Zealander has been charged with altering a woman's name to Fat Ass on an electoral roll.

Police said the 23-year-old woman will be prosecuted under the 1993 Electoral Act and will appear in New Plymouth District Court in about two weeks.

Victim, Kylene Soar, told The Daily News she received a letter from the Electoral Enrolment Centre (EEC).

The computer-generated letter registered her first names as Kylene Fat Ass and asked her to check her name and details, sign it as correct and return it.

Ms Soar, who says her weight is a touchy issue, said she was disgusted and angry and wanted answers as to how it could happen.

EEC manager Murray Wicks said at the time someone had allegedly accessed the electoral website and changed the details.

However he said a person's details could not be changed on the electoral roll itself until the forms were signed by that person as correct.

I suspect it was "Fat Arse" but was changed so Americans could understand it.
