The nomination form, the home address form and consent to nomination must be delivered by hand and cannot be submitted by post, e-mail or other electronic means.1
The only exception to this is where a candidate is overseas, in which case their consent to nomination may be sent electronically.
The certificate of authorisation and the emblem request form may be submitted by post, but may not be submitted by fax, email or other electronic means.2
The original version of each completed paper must be submitted.3
For example, a certificate of authorisation which has been sent as an attachment to an email to be printed out would make it a ‘copy document’ and not the original document.
