Regulation 11 Secret ballotI1

If in any constituency more than one candidate is duly nominated, the installation manager shall, throughout the prescribed period commencing with the expiry of the one week period specified in regulation 10 above, conduct a secret ballot in which each member of that constituency shall be entitled to vote for one candidate in the constituency.

If the Secretary of State receives a claim in writing from a member of the workforce that a ballot held for the purposes of paragraph (1) above does not comply with the requirements of that paragraph or has not been conducted fairly, he may, if he is satisfied that the claim is justified, declare the ballot to be a nullity and direct the installation manager or the installation owner to conduct a further ballot in accordance with such requirements as the Secretary of State may specify.

The installation manager or the installation owner shall comply with any directions given by the Secretary of State under paragraph (2) above.
