Spoilt ballots

Ballots cast in an envelope or ballot papers that are different from the official model, ballot papers not in an envelope, envelopes containing more than one ballot paper for different lists (if they contain a number of ballot papers for the same list they are counted as a single valid vote), ballots cast in altered envelopes, ballot papers where the names of the candidates have been changed, added to or crossed out or the order of the list has been changed, and ballot papers where any kind of writing has been added or there has been any voluntary or intentional alteration. In elections for the Senate ballot papers where more than three names have been chosen are considered to be spoilt.
