(3)  If there is only 1 person to be elected, a ballot-paper on which the elector has recorded votes for more than 1 candidate must not be rejected as informal merely because:

(a)  the number of candidates for which the elector has recorded a vote is less than the number of persons to be elected, or

(b)  the elector has placed a single number in a number of squares if the number of squares with a single number in them is no more than the number of persons to be elected, but the ballot-paper is to be treated as if any such single number was a tick or a cross.
