Electoral Act 1992

On receipt of the transmission under section 175, the authorised officer shall—

in relation to each ballot paper marked by an Antarctic elector—transcribe the particulars of the elector’s marks onto a ballot paper for the relevant electorate; and

seal in an envelope the ballot paper onto which the particulars are transcribed; and

sign the envelope and endorse it to the effect that it contains a ballot paper recording a vote by an Antarctic elector that is to be admitted to the scrutiny for the election; and

send the envelope to the commissioner.

An authorised officer shall not mark a ballot paper under this section in a way that is likely to enable it to be identified as representing the vote of an Antarctic elector.
