Regulation 27 Keeping of order in polling station
(1)
It is the presiding officer’s duty to keep order at the officer’s polling station.
(2)
If a person engages in misconduct in a polling station or fails to obey the presiding officer’s lawful orders, the person may immediately, by the presiding officer’s order, be removed from the polling station—
(a)
by a constable, or
(b)
by any other person authorised in writing by the counting officer to discharge this function.
(3)
A person so removed may not, without the presiding officer’s permission, re-enter the polling station that day.
(4)
The powers conferred by this regulation may not be exercised so as to prevent a voter who is otherwise entitled to vote at a polling station from having an opportunity to vote at that station.
