308C Ballot‑papers—candidates incapable of being elected

The ballot‑papers for an election are not informal by reason only that they contain the name of a candidate whom a court has declared to be incapable of being elected at that election, but a preference for such a candidate is to be disregarded, and (if necessary) subsequent preferences are to be renumbered accordingly.

Note: The regulations make further provision regarding the formality of ballot‑papers.
