This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

11.—(1) The GLRO must prepare and publish a statement showing the persons who have been and stand nominated and any other persons who have been nominated together with the reason why they no longer stand nominated.

(2) The statement must show the names F1... and descriptions of the persons nominated as given in their nomination papers.

[F2(2A) The statement must also show the following information contained in the home address form—

(a)where the statement mentioned in rule 6(9B)(a) is made requiring the candidate’s home address not to be made public, the information mentioned in rule 6(9B)(b);

(b)in any other case, the home address of the person nominated.]

(3) If a person's nomination paper 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.

(4) Paragraph (3) 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.

(5) If paragraph (4) 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.

(6) The statement must show the persons standing nominated 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(6A) 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 in rule 6(9B)(a), and

(c)the information mentioned in rule 6(9B)(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.

(6B) 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 (6A).

(6C) The GLRO must give notice in writing to any person whose particulars are amended or added to under paragraph (6A).

(6D) Anything done by the GLRO in pursuance of paragraph (6A) must not be questioned in any proceedings other than proceedings on an election petition.

(6E) The GLRO must have regard to any guidance issued by the Electoral Commission for the purposes of paragraph (6A).]

(7) In the case of a person nominated by more than one nomination paper, the GLRO must take the particulars required by the foregoing provisions of this rule from such one of the papers as the candidate (or the GLRO in default of the candidate) may select.
