Adjournment of nomination proceedings

If the nominations process is interrupted or obstructed on any day by riot or open violence, you must abandon proceedings for that day.1

If the day on which proceedings are abandoned is the last day for the delivery of nomination papers, you must resume the next day.2 In this case, the delivery for notices of withdrawal and publication of statement as to persons nominated are extended by one day.3
