Provincial list of candidates without an authorized recipient, replacement of the authorized recipient


(1) When a provincial list of candidates does not specify an authorized recipient it is the first candidate entered into the proposal who takes the role of authorized recipient of the respective party.


 


(2) The party can, at any time, replace its authorized recipient by another representative. Such declarations are to only contain the signature of the last authorized recipient and to be submitted to the provincial elections authorities. When the last authorized recipient does not agree, the declaration has to be signed by more than half of the candidates named in the provincial list of candidates.
