Provincial lists of candidates with the same candidates

(1) When the name of one and the same election candidate appears on more than one provincial list of candidates in the same provincial constituency, the candidate concerned has to be urged by the provincial elections authority to declare which lists of candidates they want to be entered into within eight days and not later than on the fifty-fifth day before the election day. Their name is to then be crossed out of all other provincial lists of candidates. When the candidate concerned does not make a decision within the given time period their name is to be left on the first submitted provincial list of candidates.

(2) When the name of one and the same candidate appears on more than one provincial list of candidates in the same provincial constituency, the provincial elections authorities concerned are to come to an agreement and the regulations set out in para 1 are to be applied. When no agreement is reached the decision is to be made by the federal elections authority. The decision made is to be reported to the provincial elections authorities by the federal elections authority not later than on the fifty-second day before the election day and is binding for the provincial elections authorities.
