- Deddfwriaeth Ddrafft
This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a UK Statutory Instrument: The Representation of the People (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2008 No. 1741
81.—(1) If a postal voter has inadvertently dealt with his postal ballot paper in such manner that it cannot be conveniently used as a ballot paper (referred to as “a spoilt postal ballot paper”) he may return (either by hand or by post) to the returning officer the spoilt ballot paper and the declaration of identity.
(2) On receipt of the documents referred to in paragraph (1), the returning officer shall issue another postal ballot paper except where those documents are received after 5p.m. on the day before the day of the poll.
(3) Regulations 76 (except paragraph (3)), 78, 79, and, subject to paragraph (6), 80 shall apply to the issue of a replacement postal ballot paper under paragraph (2).
(4) The spoilt postal ballot paper and the declaration of identity shall be immediately cancelled.
(5) The returning officer, as soon as practicable after cancelling those documents, shall make up those documents in a separate packet and shall seal the packet; and if on any subsequent occasion documents are cancelled as mentioned, the sealed packet shall be opened and the additional cancelled documents included in it and the packet shall be again made up and sealed.
(6) Where a postal voter applies in person, the returning officer may hand a replacement postal ballot paper to him instead of delivering it in accordance with regulation 80.
(7) The returning officer shall enter in a list kept for the purpose (“the list of spoilt ballot papers”)—
(a)the name and address of the elector as stated in the register;
(b)the number of the postal ballot paper issued under this regulation; and
(c)where the postal voter whose ballot paper is spoilt is a proxy, his name and address.
