Add:

 (3) A postal vote received in an envelope (an outer envelope) that also contains an envelope bearing a postal vote certificate is not to be rejected because the postal vote is not inside the envelope bearing the postal vote certificate.

 (4) For the purposes of this Act, the outer envelope is to be dealt with as if it were an envelope:
 (a) bearing a postal vote certificate; and
 (b) purporting to contain a postal ballot paper or postal vote.

 (5) However, despite subsection (4), the following provisions apply only in relation to the envelope bearing the postal vote certificate:
 (a) paragraphs 195A(2)(c), (d) and (e);
 (b) section 196;
 (c) paragraph 6 of Schedule 3.
