Paragraph 11

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

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

(2)

On receipt of the spoilt ballot paper, the ballot holder must issue another ballot paper, except where received later than 3 working days before the day of the ballot.

(3)

The ballot holder must immediately cancel the spoilt ballot paper.

(4)

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