Paragraph 49 Tendered ballot papers
If a person, representing himself to be–
a particular elector named in the register of electors and not named in the absent voters list; or
a particular person named in the list of proxies as proxy for an elector and not entitled to vote by post as proxy,
applies for a ballot paper after another person has voted in person either as the elector or his proxy, 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 paragraph, to mark a ballot paper (in these Rules referred to as “a tendered ballot paper”) in the same manner as any other voter.
A tendered ballot paper shall–
be a different colour from the other ballot papers;
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.
In these Rules, a tendered ballot paper marked by a person applying for a constituency ballot paper is referred to as a “tendered constituency ballot paper” and a tendered ballot paper marked by a person applying for a regional ballot paper is referred to as a “tendered regional ballot paper”.
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”).
In the case of a person voting as proxy for an elector, the number to be endorsed or entered together with the voter’s name shall be the number of that elector.
At a Scottish parliamentary general election, the same tendered votes list may be used in relation to all tendered votes in respect of that election and, where it is so used, an entry in that list in relation to a voter shall unless the contrary intention appears, be taken to mean that tendered ballot papers were marked by that voter in relation to both of his votes at that election.
