Electors in line at closing of poll
87(1)Every voter shall vote without undue delay, and shall quit the polling station as soon as his ballot has been put into the ballot box.
87(2)If at the hour for closing of the poll there are any electors in the polling station or in line at the door, who are qualified to vote and have not been able to do so since their arrival at the polling station, the poll shall be kept open a sufficient time to enable them to vote before the outer door of the polling station is closed, but no one not actually present at the polling station at the hour for closing of the poll shall be allowed to vote, even if the poll is still open when he arrives.
87(3)For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of subsection (2) the deputy returning officer shall, at the hour of closing the poll, cause the names of all electors then in line at the polling station to be listed, and no person other than those whose names are so listed shall be permitted to vote after such hour.
