60.Section 12 makes it an offence for a person (“P”) to sign the recall petition more than once otherwise than by proxy (subsection (1)) or to sign in person or by post knowing someone else appointed as P’s proxy has already signed the petition in person as P’s proxy or is entitled to sign the petition by post as P’s proxy (subsection (2)). A person who signs the petition as a proxy commits an offence if he or she signs more than once for the same person (subsection (3)) or if he or she signs as a proxy for another person knowing that other person has already signed the petition in person or by post (subsection (4)). This mirrors existing offences which apply to double-voting at elections.
