3 OCTOBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE

POLLS

9.1 If more than one person shall have been duly nominated for election a poll shall be taken, and the Secretary shall cause voting-papers to be printed in Form No 2 attached.

9.2 The Secretary shall forward by post addressed to each Voter at the address appearing on the roll a voting-paper in Form No 2.

9.3 On proof to his or her satisfaction by statutory declaration or otherwise that a voter has not received his, her or its voting-paper in due course of post or that any voting-paper received by a Voter was accidentally destroyed before being used, the Secretary may issue a further voting-paper to such Voter bearing on its face the required number with an additional distinguishing mark to indicate its issue under this clause.

9.4 Unless otherwise determined by the Board any poll to be taken in any year will close on a day designated by the Board in the month of June in the year of an election.

9.5 Except as otherwise provided by the Board no voting paper will be valid unless it is received by the Secretary by the date required and in the form provided.

SCRUTINEERS

Any candidate for election as an elective member of the Board may by writing under his or her hand addressed to the Secretary and delivered to him or her not less than two clear days before the closing of the poll appoint a scrutineer for the purposes of the poll.

RESULT OF ELECTION

11.1 Immediately upon the closing of any poll the Secretary will in the presence of such scrutineers as are present, determine the validity of any vote and shall reject any voting paper not appearing to him or her to be the genuine voting paper of a Co-operative Company enrolled as an Elector. The Secretary will then add the value of every effective vote cast in favour of each respective candidate to determine the highest polling candidate or candidates.

11.2 Where there is an equality in the value of votes between any candidates, and the addition of a vote would entitle one of such candidates to be declared elected, the Secretary will determine by lot which candidate will be elected.
