Refresh notices returned without a signature or where the signature is not in the prescribed format
A refreshed signature must meet the prescribed requirements of an absent vote application, i.e. it must appear against a background of white unlined paper of at least five centimetres long and two centimetres high.1
If you receive a notice that does not include a signature or where the signature does not meet the prescribed requirements, you should send another notice to request a new signature. You should include an explanation as to why the notice originally returned could not be accepted, provided there is time left for the absent voter to complete and return it before the deadline.
If there is not enough time left for the absent voter to complete and return it before the deadline, you should treat the absent voter as having failed to return the notice.
