Under electoral law, a nomination paper must state the name, address and occupation, if any, of a candidate at an election and a ballot paper must contain the name and description of the candidate standing nominated as shown in the nomination paper. In ruling on the validity of a nomination paper, a returning officer, inter alia, must object to the description of a candidate which is, in his or her opinion, incorrect or, insufficient to identify the candidate.
While electoral law is kept under ongoing review, I currently have no plans to change the existing provisions in respect of ballot papers.
