Paragraph 30 Postal ballot papers

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

(1)

Subject to sub-paragraph (2), at an Assembly election the constituency returning officer shall as soon as practicable send to those entitled to vote by post, at the address shown in the absent voters list or the list kept under article 12(9) (list of postal proxies), a ballot paper and a declaration of identity in the appropriate form set out in the Appendix to Schedule 3, together with an envelope for their return.

(2)

In the case of a person who at an ordinary election is entitled to give two votes by post the provisions of sub-paragraph (1) shall apply save that “a ballot paper” shall be construed as a reference to both ballot papers.
