Paragraph 44
If for any region or county not more than one candidate (or, in the case of county representatives, three for Devon or Cornwall or two for any of the counties specified in the Second Schedule of this Scheme) is duly nominated, the candidate (or candidates) nominated shall be deemed to be elected.
If for any region or county no candidate is duly nominated (or, in the case of county representatives, less than three for Devon or Cornwall or less than two for any of the counties specified in the said Second Schedule are nominated) the Board shall fill the vacancies thus arising by its own nominees.
If more than one candidate is duly nominated for any region or county (or, in the case of county representatives, more than three for Devon or Cornwall or more than two for any of the counties specified in the said Second Schedule) a vote shall be taken by post and the Board shall for that purpose send to every registered producer in the region or county a voting paper in such form as the Board think proper, stating the names and addresses of the candidates and specifying the address of the Board to which the voting papers are to be sent and the last day (which shall not be earlier than the tenth day after the day on which the voting papers are sent by the Board) on which the voting papers will be received; and no voting paper shall be taken into account unless it is received at the specified address by 6 p.m. on the specified day.
In the event of the loss of a voting paper, the Board may supply a duplicate voting paper.
