Paragraph 8 Constituency nomination papers: name of registered party
A constituency nomination paper may not include a description of a candidate which is likely to lead voters to associate the candidate with a registered party or parties unless the party (or each party) is a qualifying party in relation to the constituency and the description is authorised by a certificate in the form I set out in the Appendix–
issued by or on behalf of the nominating officer of that party (or each party); and
received by the constituency returning officer at some time during the period for the delivery of nomination papers set out in the Table in rule 1(1).
A person shall be guilty of a corrupt practice if he fraudulently purports to be authorised to issue a certificate under paragraph (1) on behalf of a registered party’s nominating officer.
