(2) The Presiding Officer may issue another ballot paper to a person referred to in subsection (1) if that person gives back the ballot paper already issued to him or her to the Presiding Officer and establishes to the satisfaction of the Presiding Officer inadvertence or the fact that he or she made an error.
