Directions to Electors
Each elector may vote only at one polling station and for only one candidate.
The elector will go into one of the compartments and with a black lead pencil
there provided place a crgss within the white space containing the name of the
candidate for whom he votes, thus X.
The elector shall then fold the ballot paper so that the initials of the presiding
officer and the numbers on the counterfoll can be seen and the counterfoil de-
tached without opening the ballot paper; he shall then return the ballot pa er so
folded to the Presiding Officer who shall in full view of those present, incfuding
the elector, remove the counterfoil, destroy the same and lace the ballot paper in
the ballot box. The elector shall then forthwith quit the poiing station.
If an elector inadvertently spoils a ballot paper he may return it to the Pre-
siding Oflicer who on being satisfied of the fact will give him another.
If an elector votes for more than one candidate or places any mark on the
ballot paper by which he can afterwards be identified his vote will be void and
will not be counted.
In .the following form of ballot aper given for illustration the candidates are
William Carib, Frank Patou and ~ o R nShark and the elector has marked his ballot
paper in favour of Frank Patou.
