Simple mistake. A bunch of nominations submitted on the first day were rejected later, the now-infamous Form 1C problem. When submitting replacements, neither we nor the election staff realised that one of them was for a ward which *hadn't* been rejected, the candidate had printed out their own forms from the Electoral Commission and so had used the newer 1C and then gone on holiday (hence a new candidate).

What is the “Form 1C problem”? It must be something new which has happened since I was being a candidate.

What is the “Form 1C problem”? It must be something new which has happened since I was being a candidate. There was a new version with updated small print published by the EC at some point relatively late, I understand. Many candidates had already filled out forms in advance, using the older format. A couple of days into nominations, the EC alerted councils to the different versions, and lots of agents who'd been very organised and submitted everything early were phoned up and told that they had to get new 1Cs. The 'consent to nomination' form.

Presumably one of the "surplus" Greens will de facto withdraw and ask voters to support their other candidate?

But his address would suggest he lives in Davyhulme East. Wonder if the TUSC lad in Longford has been proposed and seconded by his parents...

The 'consent to nomination' form. The slightly irritating thing being that the page the candidate actually has to sign is identical. The difference is in the last page of notes that the candidate almost certainly hasn't read (5/5, though it now goes onto a sixth page). If you had the original form all you would have to do is print out a new page 5.

It was very annoying and glad it didn't happen in a local election year for us!

(I make it sound almost religious. What I really mean is that I found a way to get the form to a very stressed agent dealing with a whole load of shit they didn't expect.)
