(2) No person who has not attained the age of twenty-one years shall be entitled to vote at a presidential election.

(3) No person shall be entitled to vote more than once (whether in the same constituency or in different constituencies) at the poll at a presidential election but, subject to that limitation, every person who is registered as an elector in the register of electors for the time being in force for a constituency shall (save as is otherwise provided by this section) be entitled to demand and receive a ballot paper and to vote in such constituency at such poll.
