may be, and drop the ballot paper in the ballot box kept for

the purpose with utmost secrecy. If owing to blindness or other

physical informity or illiteracy, the street vendor or voter is

whose favour he desire to vote, inscribe the mark (x) on his

behalf and drop the ballot paper in the ballot box.

of the poll. If this is not possible, the ballot box shall be sealed

with the seal of the returning officer and the contesting candidates

or their agents, if they so desire, and deposit such ballot box,

with the Municipality for custody. The returning officer shall

then announce the next day of counting. The votes shall be

counted by or under the supervision of the returning officer.

Each candidate and his authorized agent shall have a right to be

presernt at the time of counting. But absence of any candidate

or his agent at the time of counting shall not vitiate the counting

and the announcement of results by the returning officer. The

number of votes secured by each candidate and the result of

the election shall be announced by the returning officer as soon

as the counting is over.

(25) The result of the elections shall also be recorded in the minute

declare the election result by tossing coin.

(27) The ballot paper shall be rejected by the returning officer If,—

i.

It bears any mark by which the street vendor's vote can

be identified ;

ii.

It does not bear the seal of the Town Vending Committee

or the initials of the returning officer ;

iii.

The mark indicating the vote thereon is placed in such a

manner as to make it doubtful to which candidate the vote

has been cast ; and

iv.

Is so damaged or mutilated that its identity as a genuine

ballot paper cannot be established.

(28)

After the result of election has been announced, the result of the

election and a report thereon shall be communicate to the

Municipality as well as to the State Government by the returning

officer, within three days from the date of declaration of the result.

officer shall handover the ballot paper and records relating to

the elections of the members of the Town Vending Committee to

on merit :

(3) Candidates will be required to obtain such minimum qualifying

marks in Paper-I of Preliminary Examination as may be fixed by the

Commission at their discretion and a minimum of 33% marks in Paper-II of

as a wrong answer even if one of the given answer happens

to be correct and there will be same penalty as above for

(iii)
