5  After paragraph 3 of Schedule 4
Insert:
 3A. For each envelope in relation to which the following paragraphs are satisfied:
 (a) the envelope purports to contain a provisional vote ballot‑paper;
 (b) the DRO has reason to doubt that the signature on the envelope that purports to be the elector's signature is the elector's signature;
the DRO must check the signature against the most recent record (if any) of the elector's signature that is available to the DRO. If, after so checking the signature, the DRO is not satisfied that the signature on the envelope is the signature of the elector, the DRO must make all reasonable attempts to contact the elector within 3 days after the referendum, to require the elector to provide evidence of his or her identity by the first Friday following the voting day for that referendum.
