12.—(1) The GLRO must prepare and publish a statement showing—
(a)each registered party which has been and stands nominated, together with that party's list,
(b)the persons who have been and stand nominated as individual candidates, and
(c)any other parties or persons who have been nominated, together with the reason why they no longer stand nominated.
(2) If an individual's nomination paper or person's entry on a party list gives a commonly used surname or forename, or both surname and forename, in addition to another name, the statement must show the person's commonly used surname or forename, or both surname and forename (as the case may be) instead of any other name.
(3) Paragraph (2) does not apply if the GLRO thinks—
(a)that the use of the person's commonly used name may be likely to mislead or confuse electors, or
(b)that the commonly used name is obscene or offensive.
(4) If paragraph (3) applies, the GLRO must give notice in writing to the candidate of his reasons for refusing to allow the use of a commonly used name.
(5) The statement must show, in the following order—
(a)the registered parties which have been and stand nominated, arranged in alphabetical order according to the authorised descriptions given in the nomination papers,
(b)the names F1... of the list candidates as given in party lists, arranged in the order in which their names appear in those lists,
(c)the names F2... and descriptions (if any) of the persons standing nominated as individual candidates, arranged alphabetically in the order of their surnames and, if there are two or more of them with the same surname, of their other names.
[F3(5A) The statement must also show the following information contained in the home address form—
(a)where the statement in rule 8(4B)(a) is made requiring the home address of the candidate not to be made public, the information mentioned in rule 8(4B)(b);
(b)in any other case, the home address of the person nominated.
(5B) Where—
(a)two or more of the names shown on the statement are the same or so similar it is likely to cause confusion,
(b)each of the persons in question has made the statement mentioned in rule 8(4B)(a), and
(c)the information mentioned in rule 8(4B)(b) is the same for each of them,
the GLRO may cause any of their particulars to be shown on the statement with such amendments or additions as the GLRO thinks appropriate in order to reduce the likelihood of confusion.
(5C) Where it is practicable to do so before the publication of the statement, the GLRO must consult any person whose particulars are to be amended or added to under paragraph (5B).
(5D) The GLRO must give notice in writing to any person whose particulars are amended or added to under paragraph (5B).
(5E) Anything done by the GLRO in pursuance of paragraph (5B) must not be questioned in any proceedings other than proceedings on an election petition.
(5F) The GLRO must have regard to any guidance issued by the Electoral Commission for the purposes of paragraph (5B).]
