93  After subsection 339(1B)
Insert:

 (1C) A person is guilty of an offence if the person intentionally votes more than once in the same election.

Penalty: 60 penalty units or imprisonment for 12 months, or both.

 (1D) If a person votes more than once in the same election, the number of offences the person is guilty of under subsection (1A) or (1C) because of that voting is the number of times the person voted in that election less one.

Note: This subsection means that each act of voting (other than the one act of voting that would be legitimate) gives rise to a separate offence but it is not necessary to know which act of voting was the first one and therefore legitimate.
