CONSTITUTION FURTHER AMENDMENT (REFERENDUM) ACT 1930 - SECT 15

15 Form of ballot-papers

(1) Except as provided in subsection (5), the ballot-papers to be used at a referendum shall be:

(a) except as provided in paragraph (b), in or to the effect of Form B in the Second Schedule, and

(b) in the case of ballot-papers to be used for postal voting, in or to the effect of Form D in the Second Schedule.

(5) Where two or more referendums are held on the same day, it shall not be necessary for the forms of ballot-paper for each referendum to be on separate pieces of paper, but two or more forms of ballot-paper which may be used by any one elector may be on one piece of paper in or to the effect of Form E in the Second Schedule, in which case it shall not be necessary for the signature or initials of the returning officer or deputy to appear more than once on the piece of paper, and the presence of any mark or writing on the piece of paper by which the voter can be identified shall render informal all the forms of ballot-paper and votes appearing on the piece of paper, but any other ground of informality shall only apply to the particular ballot-paper and vote to which it relates, and shall not affect the validity of any other ballot-paper or vote.
