Nomination of individual candidates at a regional election

6.—(1) Each individual candidate at a regional election shall be nominated by a separate individual nomination paper, in the form set out in English and Welsh in the Appendix delivered by the candidate himself to the regional returning officer at the place or a place fixed for the purpose, but the paper may be so delivered on the candidate’s behalf by his election agent if the agent’s name and address have been previously given to the returning officer as required by article 32 or are so given at the time the paper is delivered.

(2) The individual nomination paper shall state the candidate's—

(a) full names,

(b) home address in full, and

(c) if desired (and subject to paragraph 5(1)), description,

and the surname shall be placed first in the list of his names.

(3) The description, if any, shall not exceed six words in length, and need not refer to his rank, profession or calling so long as, with the candidate’s other particulars, it is sufficient to identify him.

(4) Each nomination paper delivered under this paragraph shall be subscribed by one person who shall also (if he is not the candidate) set out his full name and address.

(5) The regional returning officer shall supply any person upon request with a form of individual nomination paper at the place or a place, and during the time, for delivery of individual or party nomination papers but it is not necessary for a nomination to be on a form supplied by the regional returning officer.
