Voting by persons in employment of returning officer.
S. 24
19. Where an elector for any constituency is employed by
the returning officer for any purpose in connection with an
election and the circumstances of that employment are, in the
opinion of the returning officer, such as to prevent him from
voting at the polling station at which the elector would
otherwise be entitled to vote, the returning officer may authorize
the elector, by a certificate given under his hand, to vote at
any other polling station in the constituency in respect of which
he is registered as an elector, and such other polling station
shall for all purposes be deemed to be the polling station
allotted to that elector.
