CHARLES STURT UNIVERSITY BY-LAW 1995 - REG 31

31 Certain ballot papers to be rejected as informal

(1) The returning officer must reject as informal any ballot paper cast by an elector at an election that:

(a) is not initialled as required by clause 22, or

(b) does not comply with a requirement of clause 23, 24 or 25, or

(c) is marked in a way that is not authorised by this Division and that, in the opinion of the returning officer, will enable any person to identify the elector.

(2) Despite subclause (1), a ballot paper is not informal only because a figure placed on the ballot paper is not placed in or entirely in the square opposite a candidate’s name. However, in that case the figure must have been placed on the ballot paper in such a position as clearly indicates to the satisfaction of the returning officer the order of the elector’s preferences for the candidates.
