Regulation 11 Combination of polls: general

Where the poll at a referendum would be taken on a day that falls within the period beginning 28 days before the day on which the poll is to be taken at a relevant election, the poll at the referendum may be taken on the day on which the poll is to be taken at the relevant election and the polls may be taken together if the returning officer or counting officer for the relevant election and the counting officer for the referendum think fit.

Where the poll at a referendum would be taken on a day that falls within the period beginning 28 days before the day on which the poll is to be taken at another referendum, the poll at both referendums may be taken on the same day and the polls may be taken together if the counting officer thinks fit.

The cost of taking the combined polls (excluding any cost solely attributable to one election or referendum) and any cost attributable to their combination are to be apportioned equally among the elections or referendums.
