Abstract: Recently Kordas (1995, Class. Quantum Grav. 12 2037) and Meinel and Neugebauer (1995, Class. Quantum Grav. 12 2045) studied the conditions for reflection symmetry in stationary axisymmetric space--times in vacuum. They found that a solution to the Einstein field equations is reflectionally symmetric if their Ernst's potential $calE(ho=0,z)=e(z)$ on a portion of the positive z-axis extending to infinity satisfies the condition $e_{+}(z)e_{+}^{\ast }(-z)=1$. In this note, we formulate an analogous conditions for two complex Ernst potentials in electrovacuum. We also present the special case of rational axis potentials.
