Section 187
Disposition versions
187. If, at the counting of the ballots, the deputy returning officer notices that, through oversight or forgetfulness, he has omitted to initial any or all of the ballots on the reverse, he may then do so in the presence of the persons who are in the polling station, and at the same time indicate it by a note initialed by him in the poll book.
Before affixing his initials, the deputy returning officer shall write, sign and attest, before the poll clerk, the following declaration:
“I swear (or solemny affirm) that, through forgetfulness or oversight, I did not affix my initials on (state the number) ballot papers, which I acknowledge as having been supplied by me during the polling, and which I have found in the ballot box.”
The declaration shall be deposited with the other documents in the ballot box.
The ballots shall then be counted as if all formalities had been duly complied with in respect thereof.
