Paragraph 22 Tendered ballot papers

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

(1)

If a person, representing himself to be a particular elector named on the register applies for a ballot paper after another person has voted as the elector, the applicant shall, on satisfactorily answering the questions permitted by law to be asked at the poll, be entitled, subject to the following provisions of this rule, to mark a ballot paper (in these rules referred to as “a tendered ballot paper”) in the same manner as any other voter.

(2)

A tendered ballot paper shall–

(a)

be of a colour differing from the other ballot papers;

(b)

instead of being put into the ballot box, be given to the presiding officer and endorsed by him with the name of the voter and his number in the register of electors, and set aside in a separate packet.

(3)

The name of the voter and his number on the register of electors shall be entered on a list (in these rules referred to as the “tendered votes list”).
