| | | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | | Currently, voters who are in a queue at a polling station at 10 pm but who have not yet been issued |
|
| | | with their ballot paper are unable to cast their vote. This amendment would allow for ballot papers |
|
| | | to be issued to any registered voter who is in the polling station or in a queue outside the polling |
|
|
| |
| | |
| | |
| |
| | | station at 10 pm, in order that they may then cast their vote. |
