Paragraph 45 Challenge of voter

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

A person shall not be prevented from voting by reason only that–

(a)

a candidate or the election or polling agent of a candidate or of a registered party standing nominated declares that he has reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed an offence of personation; or

(b)

the person is arrested on the grounds that he is suspected of committing or about to commit such an offence.
