Regulation 26

Every voter entitled to vote at a poll or an adjourned poll relating to the lift upgrading works, shall be given a number of polling papers equal to the number of votes he is entitled to under rule 8.

No polling paper shall be given to a voter unless he has produced his identity card or such other evidence of his identity and citizenship to a polling officer and his name appears in the register for that poll, or in the list of proxies, and a polling officer may refuse to give a voter a polling paper if —

Immediately before any polling paper is given to a voter, a mark shall be placed in the register against the name of the voter in the register to denote that he has received a polling paper, and in the case of a person applying for a polling paper as a representative of a company or as proxy, a mark shall also be placed against his name in the list of proxies.

The voter, on receiving the polling paper, shall immediately proceed to such place reserved for the marking of polling papers and mark in the space on the polling paper provided for the purpose of indicating whether the voter is in favour of or against any proposal relating to the lift upgrading works.

The voter will then fold the polling paper, put it into the appropriate poll box and leave the polling place.

Any polling officer may, on the application of any voter, explain to the voter the proposal regarding the lift upgrading works, or the method of voting; but in so doing, the polling officer shall abstain from any action which might be construed by the voter as a direction to vote in favour of or against any such proposal.

Any polling officer may, on the application of a voter at the polling place who is incapacitated by blindness or other physical cause from voting in the manner prescribed in these Rules, mark the polling papers of the voter in the manner directed by the voter, and shall then immediately cause the polling papers to be placed in the appropriate poll box.
