Corresponding number lists

You must prepare and provide a corresponding number list for each polling station.1

The corresponding number list is a prescribed document that can be found in the appendix to the election rules or a form to like effect.2

There are two types of corresponding number list: one list to be used at polling stations, containing the ballot paper numbers and a column to add the elector numbers of voters to whom those ballot papers are issued.

The other list is to be used at postal vote issuing sessions, containing the number and unique identifying mark of every ballot paper produced, as well as the elector numbers of postal voters.

For more information on the postal vote issuing process please see our guidance on issuing and distributing postal votes.
