41.—(1) A tendered ballot paper must—
(a)be of a colour differing from that of the other ballot papers,
(b)instead of being put into the ballot box, be given to the presiding officer and endorsed by the presiding officer with the name of the voter and the voter’s number in the register of electors, and set aside in a separate packet.
(2) The name of the voter and the voter’s number in the register of electors must be entered on a list (in these Rules referred to as the “tendered votes list”).
(3) In the case of a person voting as proxy for an elector, the number to be endorsed or entered together with the voter’s name shall be the number of that elector.

(a)in paragraphs (1)(b) and (2) above, the references to the name of the voter shall be ignored,
(b)otherwise, a reference to a person named on a register or list shall be construed as a reference to a person whose number appears in the register or list (as the case may be).
(5) In the case of a person in respect of whom a notice has been issued under section 13B(3B) or (3D) of the 1983 Act, this rule and rule 40 shall apply as if—
(a)in rule 40(1)(a), (2)(a) and (5)(a), for “named on the register” there were substituted “in respect of whom a notice under section 13B(3B) or (3D) of the 1983 Act has been issued”,
(b)in paragraph (1)(b) of this rule for “the voter’s number in the register of electors” there were substituted “the number relating the voter on a notice issued under section 13B(3B) or (3D) of the 1983 Act”,
(c)in paragraph (2) of this rule, for “the voter’s number in the register of electors” there were substituted “the number relating to the voter on a notice issued under section 13B(3B) or (3D) of the 1983 Act”.
