Order In Station

35. (1) Any person who misconducts himself in a polling sta­tion, or fails to obey the lawful orders of the presiding officer, may immediately, by order of the presiding officer, be removed from the polling station by a police officer in or near the station or by any other person authorised in writing by the returning of­ficer to remove him, and the person so removed shall not, with­out the permission of the presiding officer, again enter the poll­ing station during the day. 

(2) Any person so removed may, if charged with the commis­sion in the polling station of an offence, be dealt with as a person taken into custody by a police officer for an offence without a warrant.

(3) The powers conferred by this rule shall not be exercised so as to prevent a voter who is otherwise entitled to vote at a polling station from having an opportunity of voting at that station.

(4) During the hours that the poll is open upon polling day no person shall, in any polling station or upon any public place within one hundred yards of any polling station, remain or seek to influence any elector to vote or refrain from voting for any candidate or political party or to ascertain for whom any elector intends to vote or has voted.

(5) Any person who contravenes the provisions of sub-rule (4) commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars and a term of imprisonment of not more than two months.
