Delivery of multiple nomination forms

There is no limit to the number of nomination forms that may be delivered.
 
If a political party delivers more than one party nomination paper and the same party list candidates are nominated by more than one party list submitted on those papers, the Nominating officer must choose one of the party nomination papers - to be known as the selected nomination form. You must choose which one of the valid papers will be used if the Nominating Officer cannot or does not choose one.1
  
If a candidate is shown standing nominated on a party list which is not on the selected nomination form, that candidate is no longer nominated.2
 
If an individual candidate is validly nominated by more than one form, the candidate should choose which one of the valid nomination forms – to be known as the selected nomination form. If they cannot or do not do this, then you must choose which one of the forms will be used.3
    
The details on the selected form should be added to the statement of parties and persons nominated and the ballot paper.
