Order, please. Pursuant to the Standing Orders, the House will now proceed to elect a Speaker. The list of those members who are eligible as candidates has been placed in each polling station and at the table.
I would like the Sergeant-at-Arms to bring to the Chair the ballot box for inspection and to allow the Clerk of the House to inspect and secure the ballot box.
After the Clerk has unsealed the ballots, I will suggest a method of proceeding which will help to accelerate the voting process.
As we are about to begin the voting procedure, may I remind all members to print the first and last name of their candidate on their ballot paper.
I would suggest that members leave their desk, exit through the curtains and come to the table using the doors on the left or right side of the Chair on their respective side of the House. A clerk will issue to each member a ballot paper.
After casting their ballot, members are asked to leave the voting area.
The polling booths are now open to vote.
