Paragraph 25 Issue of official poll cards

The returning officer must as soon as practicable after the publication of the notice of election send to electors and their proxies an official poll card.

An elector’s official poll card must be sent or delivered to his qualifying address, and a proxy’s to his address as shown in the list of proxies.

The official poll card must be in the appropriate form in the Appendix, or a form to the like effect, and must set out—

and different information may be provided in pursuance of sub-paragraph (d) to different electors or descriptions of elector.

In the case of an elector with an anonymous entry, instead of containing the matter mentioned in paragraph (3)(b), the polling card must contain such matter as is specified in the appropriate form in the Appendix.

Paragraph (7) of rule 6 shall apply for the interpretation of this rule.

If the returning officer and the returning officer for each relevant election or referendum think fit, an official poll card issued under this rule may be combined with the official poll card issued at every relevant election or referendum.
