(1) This section applies to ballot papers in a periodic Council election in which the voter records a vote by placing the number "1" in the group voting square for one of the groups and does not record any other preference, where that group ceases to have 15 candidates because of the operation of section 86 (8).

(2) The ballot papers to which this section applies are taken to have recorded on them a second preference vote for the group nominated under section 87.
