If a person engages in misconduct in a polling station or fails to obey the presiding officer’s lawful orders, the person may immediately, by the presiding officer’s order, be removed from the polling station—
a
by a constable in or near that station, or
b
by any other person authorised in writing by the counting officer to discharge this function.

A person so removed may not, without the presiding officer’s permission, re-enter the polling station that day.
