Article H 9
 

• 1. A written declaration from each candidate appearing on the list shall be submitted with the list indicating that they agree to their nomination on this list for the constituency or constituencies for which it was submitted. Unless a proxy referred to in Articles H 10, paragraph 1, or H 10a, paragraph 1, is appointed, this declaration shall state the address at which the candidate wishes to receive notification of their appointment, as referred to in Article V 1.


• 2. A submitted declaration of consent cannot be withdrawn.


• 3. A copy of a document referred to in Article 1 of the Compulsory Identification Act shall also be submitted with the list for each candidate who does not hold a seat in the representative body for which the election is being held. If a copy of a document as referred to in Article 1 of the Identification Act is missing from such a candidate, the declaration of consent of the candidate in question is deemed missing.


• 4. A general administrative order shall regulate where and when the forms for the declarations of consent are available to voters free of charge. A model for the form shall be established by ministerial regulation.
