Designating locations of voting stations
2   Where an elected authority has passed a bylaw in accordance with section 160(2) of the Act, section 37 of the Act is modified as follows:
                                 (a)    the returning officer of the elected authority may designate the location of the voting station;
                                 (b)    the location of more than one voting station may be designated for each voting subdivision.
Elector’s statement
3   The statement required under section 77 of the Act is Form 8 as prescribed in Schedule 1 to the Local Authorities Election Forms Regulation (AR 378/2003).
Blind voter template
4   Despite section 78(5) of the Act, where an elected authority has passed a bylaw in accordance with section 160(2) of the Act, the returning officer of the elected authority may determine the form of the blind voter template to be provided to an elector under that section.
Appointing deputies to take votes of electors unable to attend voting station

                                 (a)    the elected authority may define lodge accommodation as a home, including a self‑contained housing unit, for the use of persons of advanced years who
                                           (i)    are not suffering from any chronic disease that incapacitates them, and
                                          (ii)    may or may not be capable of or desirous of maintaining their own housing accommodation,
                                     and
                                 (b)    the returning officer of the elected authority may appoint the number of deputies that the returning officer considers necessary to take the votes of electors who reside in lodge accommodation, as defined under clause (a), and are unable to attend a voting station or advance voting station to vote.
