195E: Interfering with or influencing voters at resumed poll

You could also call this:

"Rules for when voting starts again after being stopped"

Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

If voting at a polling place is stopped and then starts again, some rules apply. When voting resumes at that polling place or a different one, you must follow certain rules until the poll closes. This includes rules from section 197(1)(i) and (j) and section 197A, which are applied in a way that fits the new situation.
