If a voter has inadvertently dealt with their ballot paper in such manner that it cannot be conveniently used as a ballot paper (referred to as “a spoilt ballot paper”) that voter may return (either by hand or by post) to the ballot holder the spoilt ballot paper.

(2)

If on receipt of the spoilt ballot paper later than the date that is 3 working days prior to the day of the ballot, the ballot holder is satisfied as to the voter’s identity, the ballot holder he shall issue another ballot paper.

(3)

The spoilt ballot paper shall be immediately cancelled.

(4)

Where a voter applies in person, the ballot holder may hand a replacement ballot paper to that voter instead of delivering it in accordance with paragraph 10.
