Not quite accurate I am afraid. Every ballot will have errors it is impossible not to. So when the results are known and the numbers are published BA could claim 'illegal' ballot if the numbers are significant.
Otherwise it would be possible to produce just one non member who voted and then claim ballot is not valid.
I have been present and have witnessed many ballots and know this is the case.
These problems are more common when voting is for a TU position i.e. General Secretary. The loser will challenge if the numbers are close but if the number is not 'signifcant to have changed the result' the challenge will be ignored.
