Filling out a ballot paper that has a retired candidate

Ballot papers cannot be changed to remove any candidates who were retired after the ballot papers were printed.

To cast a formal vote, please follow the instructions in your ballot pack. Put the number 1 in the box next to the candidate you want to see elected, then number all the other boxes in the order of your choice. You must number every box and only use each number once.

When counting votes for these elections, the retired candidate’s votes will be passed on to other candidates according to voters’ preferences.
