(g) finally, the ballot supervisor shall allow any person to present himself and, where the ballot supervisor is satisfied that that person is a member of the union and where that person is also qualified to vote in the ballot, the ballot supervisor shall record and mark off his union numbers and full name on the list supplied to the Registrar in terms of subregulation (3)(b) and thereafter the material preceding provisions of this regulation shall, with all necessary modifications, apply.
(10) The ballot supervisor shall ensure that not more than one person is in the private balloting place at any one time.
(11) A ballot token unmarked with the first official mark shall be void and shall not be counted.
(12) The registered trade union in question may appoint not more than three representatives to attend at the counting of the votes when the ballot is at an end.

(14) At the conclusion of the counting of the votes, the ballot supervisor shall record in writing the number of votes cast for the material resolution, the number of votes cast against the material resolution and, of the affirmative votes, the number of votes cast by members of the registered trade union in question who are less than three consecutive months in arrears in payment of their dues to the trade union as required by its constitution.

(16) Having completed his certificate in terms of subregulation (15), the ballot supervisor shall hand the same, together with the record of how the votes were cast, to the person for the time being presiding at the general meeting who shall thereupon announce to the meeting how the votes were cast and, in accordance with the ballot supervisor’s certificate, that the material resolution is accordingly carried or defeated, as the case may be.
