I authorise the Scrutinisers to issue the Poll papers to Members/Proxies/ Authorised Representatives and to advise them about the procedure to be followed; and to declare the Poll as closed on conclusion thereof, after ensuring that all the Members/Proxies/Authorised Representatives present have been provided the opportunity to vote.
