57 Printing of ballot papers
(1) As soon as practicable after the close of enrolments in an election, the
returning officer must: (a) determine the order in which the candidates' names
are to be listed on a ballot paper by means of a ballot held in accordance
with the procedure provided by section 82A of the
Parliamentary Electorates and Elections Act 1912 , and
(b) cause sufficient
ballot papers to be printed to enable ballot papers to be sent to each person
included in the final roll for the election, and
(c) cause sufficient
candidate information sheets to be printed to enable copies to be sent to each
person included in that roll.
(2) A ballot paper for an election must
contain: (a) the names of the candidates arranged in the order determined in
accordance with subclause (1) (a), with a small square set opposite each name,
and
(b) if the returning officer considers that the names of 2 or more of the
candidates are so similar as to cause confusion, such other matter as the
returning officer considers will distinguish between the candidates, and
(c)
the date by which ballot papers are to be returned and such other directions
as to the manner in which a vote is to be recorded and returned to the
returning officer as the returning officer considers appropriate.
(3) The
directions to voters must include a direction that: (a) the voter must record
a vote for at least the number of candidates to be elected by placing
consecutive numbers (beginning with the number "1" and ending with the number
equal to the number of candidates to be elected) in the squares set opposite
the candidates' names in the order of preference for them, and
(b) the voter
may, but is not required to, vote for additional candidates by placing
consecutive numbers (beginning with the number next higher than the number of
candidates to be elected) in the squares set opposite the candidates' names in
the order of the voter's preferences for them.
