Paragraph 8 Rule 37 (equipment of polling stations)I1

Rule 37 is to be read as if after paragraph (2) there were inserted—

“(2A)

The same ballot box may be used for the poll at the Senedd election and for the poll at the police and crime commissioner election.

(2B)

Where the same ballot box is not used under paragraph (2A) each ballot box must be clearly marked with—

(a)

the election to which it relates, as shown on the ballot papers for that election, and

(b)

the words “Rhowch y papur pleidleisio [nodwch liw’r papurau pleidleisio dan sylw] yma. Place the [specify the colour of the ballot papers in question] ballot paper here.””

In rule 37, paragraph (12) is to be read as if there were substituted for that paragraph—

“(12)

Where the poll at a Senedd election is taken together with a poll at a police and crime commissioner election, a notice containing the following information must be exhibited inside each voting compartment in each polling station—

(a)

in respect of a Senedd election—

“Pleidleisiwch unwaith yn unig ar y papur pleidleisio. Peidiwch â rhoi unrhyw farc arall ar y papur pleidleisio, neu mae’n bosibl na chaiff eich pleidlais ei chyfrif.

Vote only once on the ballot paper. Put no other mark on the ballot paper or your vote may not be counted.”;

(b)

in respect of a police and crime commissioner election—

“Pleidleisiwch dros UN YMGEISYDD YN UNIG drwy roi croes [x] yn y blwch wrth ochr eich dewis ar y papur pleidleisio lliw [lliw’r papur pleidleisio] ar gyfer comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu. Peidiwch â rhoi dim marc arall ar y papur pleidleisio neu mae’n bosibl na chaiff eich pleidlais ei chyfrif.

Vote for ONLY ONE CANDIDATE by putting a cross [x] in the box next to your choice on the police and crime commissioner ballot paper coloured [colour of ballot paper]. Put no other mark on the ballot paper or your vote may not be counted.””
