Northern Territory Consolidated Acts Northern Territory Consolidated Acts(1) If a person attends before an authorised officer for a division at a polling place during polling hours and claims to vote at an election for another division, the officer must issue a ballot paper (a declaration ballot paper ) to the person for the person's enrolled division if:
(a) the person states the person's full name and, unless the person's address is suppressed, the person's address; and
(b) the officer is satisfied the officer's certified list of voters for all divisions has not been marked to indicate a declaration ballot paper has already been issued to the person; and
(c) the person answers the voter's question in the affirmative.
(2) However, if the officer's certified list of voters has been marked to indicate a declaration ballot paper has already been issued to the person but the person claims not to have voted already at the election, Subdivision 2 applies to the issue of a declaration ballot paper to the person.
(3) The officer must, immediately before issuing the ballot paper to the person:
(a) record the issue on the certified list of voters; and
(b) initial the back of the ballot paper.
