Paragraph 21 Notice of Poll
The returning officer must publish notice of the poll stating—
the day and hours fixed for the poll;

the particulars of each candidate remaining validly nominated (the names and other particulars of the candidates, and the order of the candidates’ names being the same as in the statement of persons nominated); and
the names of all persons signing a candidate’s nomination paper.
Where a candidate is nominated by more than one nomination paper, the nomination paper referred to in paragraph (1)(d) must be that from which the names and other particulars of the candidate shown in the statement of persons nominated are taken.
The returning officer must, not later than the time of the publication of the notice of the poll, also give public notice of—

and he must as soon as practicable after giving such a notice give a copy of it to each of the election agents.
The notice published under paragraph (3) must—
state that the poll at the principal area election is to be taken together with the poll at a relevant election or referendum;
where any of the polls are to be taken together in part of the local government area only, specify that part.
