95 Certain ballot papers not counted
Despite another provision of this Part, a ballot paper must not be
counted and must be treated as a discarded ballot paper if it is
received by the Commission other than in:
(a) for a postal vote – the envelope bearing the postal vote
certificate; or
(b) for a vote cast under section 57, 72 or 74 – the envelope in
which the ballot paper is placed under that section.
