The Governing Council may authorise electronic voting in any poll. Any member eligible to vote in such a poll may do so by electronic voting, if the member so wishes.

Electronic voting must be administered by the chief executive to ensure that the electronic voting procedures safeguard the confidentiality of individual votes in the poll vote and ensure that only members eligible to vote in the poll are able to vote under those procedures.

All votes cast by electronic means must be transmitted to the chief executive not later than the date on or before which voting papers in the poll concerned must be received by the chief executive.

A member who has returned a voting paper in any poll must not vote electronically in that poll, and a member who has voted electronically in a poll must not return a voting paper in that poll.
