After formally determining a nomination

Once you have decided that a nomination is valid, it cannot be challenged during the election, although it may be challenged after the election by way of an election petition.1

If you have made a formal determination but then, as a result of an objection, later decide that the nomination form should in fact have been determined as invalid, you can make a further determination to this effect.

If a nomination form is determined to be invalid you must:2

  • state that fact on the nomination form,
  • write on it the reasons for rejection on the form
  • sign the form

In both cases you must send notice of the decision that a nomination form is valid or invalid to each candidate at their home address.3 This should be done as soon as practicable after your decision has been made.
