(2)Subject to sub-paragraph (3), the person’s entitlement to vote by post ends on the last day of the period of 12 months beginning with the date when the person’s entry in the register of parliamentary electors first takes effect (unless it ends sooner).
(3)Where—
(a)as a result of paragraph 14(3)(b) the person remains registered in a register of parliamentary electors until the time referred to in that provision, and
(b)the person’s entitlement to vote by post would (as a result of sub-paragraph (2)) otherwise end before that time,
