Paragraph 6

The nominating representative of each of those parties may (within such time as may be prescribed by an order under paragraph 1) submit to the Chief Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland separate lists of candidates for all or any of the constituencies (“constituency lists”).

If a nominating representative submits at least three constituency lists, he may also submit a list of candidates for Northern Ireland as a whole (a “regional list”).

The number of candidates on a constituency list must be at least two and not more than five.

The number of candidates on a regional list must be at least two and not more than ten.

A constituency list for a party may not include a candidate who is on another constituency list for the party.

A party’s regional list must include at least two candidates who are not on a constituency list for the party.
