Duplicate voting material
16 Duplicate voting material
This section applies if voting material posted to a voter—
has not been received by the voter; or
has been lost or destroyed; or
if the document is a ballot paper—has been spoilt.
The voter may apply to the manager of the election for a duplicate of the voting material.
The application must—
be received by the manager on or before the finish day for the ballot; and
state the grounds for the application; and
if practicable, be substantiated by evidence verifying or tending to verify the grounds; and
state that the voter has not voted at the ballot; and
if the document is a spoilt ballot paper—be accompanied by the ballot paper.
If the application complies with subsection (3), the manager must—
if the document is a spoilt ballot paper—
mark ‘spoilt’ on the paper; and
initial the paper where marked and keep the paper; and
give a fresh ballot paper to the voter; or
otherwise—give a duplicate of the document to the voter.
