Paragraph 78
 

Article 96.5,6 Provision should be made to give a person whose name has been included in two lists a choice between these two lists, in order for his/her candidature to be valid. In other words, a candidate should not be disqualified by being nominated with his/her permission on one list and then falsely nominated on another. If two parties use the same name without permission, then s/he should be allowed to withdraw.  This concern is partly but not wholly met by Article 98.3.
