answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>Parties have the option to register descriptions which can appear on the ballot paper, instead of the party name. As the registrar for political parties, electoral law requires the Commission to assess whether a party’s description meets the requirements set out in law. If it does not, the description cannot be registered.</p><p>If a person, other than the candidate, is named in a description and thus appeared on the ballot paper, it is likely to mislead a voter about the candidate standing in their area. It would not therefore meet the legal requirements for a description, and the Commission would be required to refuse it.</p> answering member constituency Lancaster and Fleetwood answering member printed Cat Smith question first answered 13/05/2024 09:41:23 answering member 4436 label Biography information for Cat Smith
