# The Greater London Authority (Referendum) Order 1998, Paragraph 6


Where the proceedings on the issue and receipt of postal ballot papers are not taken together under paragraph 2 above, the declaration of identity for the purposes of rule 19 shall be in the form set out in the Appendix to the election rules or, as the case may be, the referendum rules, in each case with the following modifications—
(a) on the front of the form, for “I hereby declare that I am the person to whom the ballot paper numbered as above was sent” substitute “To be returned with the [insert colour of ballot paper] coloured ballot paper No…I hereby declare that I am the person to whom the [insert colour of ballot paper] coloured ballot paper numbered as above was sent.”;
(b) on the back of the form—
(i) after the end of the first sentence of paragraph 1, insert “You are required to do this even if you have already signed a similar declaration of identity in respect of [the borough council election] [the Greater London referendum] to be held on the same day.”
(ii) for paragraph 4 substitute—
“4 Different colours are used for the ballot papers for the borough council election and the Greater London referendum. Each ballot paper has its own ballot paper envelope (the smaller envelope marked “A”), declaration of identity and covering envelope (the larger envelope marked “B”). The covering envelope and declaration of identity for a particular ballot paper are those which refer to the colour of that ballot paper. It is important that you use the correct envelopes and declaration of identity, otherwise your vote may not be counted. You may find it helpful to sort the documents into separate sets, each consisting of a ballot paper, ballot paper envelope, declaration of identity and covering envelope. Then proceed as follows:
(a) place [each] ballot paper in the correct smaller envelope and seal it;
(b) put that envelope, together with the correct declaration of identity, in the correct covering envelope and seal it;
(c) return the covering envelopes without delay. Ballot papers must be received by the returning officer not later than the close of poll.”; and
(iii) for paragraph 5 substitute—
“5 If you receive more than one ballot paper relating to the borough council election or the Greater London referendum, remember that it is illegal to vote more than once (otherwise than as a proxy) at that election or referendum.”
