Disposition versions
254. The deputy returning officer shall admit an elector to vote if the elector has not already voted, if he is entered on the electoral list of the polling subdivision and if his surname, given name, address and, where such is the case, his age and occupation, correspond to those appearing on the electoral list.
The elector whose designation slightly differs from that appearing on the electoral list may nevertheless be admitted to vote after making the oath in the form prescribed by regulation; an indication shall be made of it in the poll book.
The deputy returning officer, after initialling a ballot paper in the space reserved for that purpose, and detaching the counterfoil, shall remit the ballot paper to the elector admitted to vote.
