201. The elector, after receiving the ballot paper, shall proceed into one of the compartments of the polling station, mark his ballot paper in one of the circles and then he shall fold up the ballot paper so that the initials and the number affixed by the deputy returning officer can be seen without opening it. He shall allow the deputy returning officer’s initials to be examined by that officer, the poll clerk and any representative of a candidate who wishes to do so, and shall then, in full view of those persons present, remove the counterfoil and give it to the deputy returning officer, who shall destroy it, and the elector himself shall then place the ballot paper in the ballot box.

201. The voter, on receiving the ballot paper, shall forthwith proceed into one of the compartments of the polling station. He shall there mark his ballot paper, making a cross with a black lead pencil within the white space containing the name of the candidate for whom he intends to vote; he shall then fold up the ballot paper so that the initials and the number affixed by the deputy returning officer can be seen without opening it; and shall then hand it to the deputy returning officer.

The latter shall, without unfolding it, ascertain, by examining his initials and the number entered on the counterfoil, that it is the same which he furnished to the voter; and shall then, in full view of those present, including the voter, remove the counterfoil and destroy it and place the ballot paper in the ballot box, which box shall be placed on a table in full view of those present.
