When it is your turn, approach the desk of the appropriate PO and listen to the instructions the PO will give you on how to vote.
Once you get the ballot paper, go to the designated booth and mark an X beside the name of the candidate of your choice using the pencil provided. Please only mark one X. Do not put any other mark on the ballot paper with any other writing implement. If you put any other mark on the paper and/or you wrote more than one X, your ballot will be REJECTED and your vote will not count.
As soon as you are finished marking the X beside the name of the candidate of your choice, fold the ballot paper appropriately and return it to the PO who will drop the ballot in the designated box.
If you return with the ballot paper exposed, the PO may deem your ballot spoilt and may issue you one more ballot paper. If you spoil the second one, your ballot will be discarded and you will not be allowed to vote.
For sixth formers, you will not be allowed to use your cellular phones or other electronic devices in the voting area.
All Students of all grades duly registered at Ascot High School have the right to vote. Each student only has ONE VOTE.
