It is your responsibility as Nominating Officer to ensure that the nomination form, which includes the certificate of authorisation and any emblem request, the home address forms and the consents to nomination including the statements of party memberships for all candidates on your party list, are delivered to the Returning Officer (RO) by 4pm 19 working days before the poll.1
The RO will have arrangements in place that will allow you to deliver the nomination papers electronically. An email address or an online portal will be provided specifically for the purpose of electronic delivery of nomination papers. Our guidance about the electronic delivery of nomination papers has more information.
We recommend that you as Nominating Officer, the agent, or someone you trust delivers the nomination papers by hand or submits them electronically on your behalf, so you can be sure they are delivered to the RO in the required way and in time.
