3.—(1) A postal ballot paper which was returned by a postal voter has no effect for the purpose of the postponed poll.
(2) The fact that a postal voter cast a postal ballot paper in respect of a relevant by-election or relevant referendum does not of itself prevent that person from doing so in respect of the postponed poll.
(3) In paragraphs (1) and (2), “postponed poll”, in relation to a relevant by-election or relevant referendum, means the poll which is to be held on the date, or within the period, specified by regulations under section 61 of the Coronavirus Act 2020(1).
(4) Where any list has been created under regulation 87 of the 2001 Regulations, regulation 61C of those Regulations (notification of rejected postal voting statement) does not apply in respect of an absent voter who appears on that list.
(5) Regulation 84A of the 2001 Regulations (confirming receipt of postal voting statements) does not apply.
