(b)in the receptacle for rejected votes, any other ballot paper, with the valid postal voting statement attached and marked “provisionally rejected”;
(c)in the receptacle for rejected votes, any valid postal voting statement marked “provisionally rejected” where—
(i)there is no ballot paper; or
(ii)in the case of a statement on which the number of more than one ballot paper appears, there is not a sufficient number of ballot papers and, in such a case, must mark the statement to indicate which ballot paper is missing;
(d)in the receptacle for postal voting statements, any valid statement not disposed of under paragraph (b) or (c).]
