The Electoral Commissioner must, on receiving a writ for an election, endorse on it the date of its receipt, and as soon as is reasonably practicable publicly advertise (in such manner as the Electoral Commissioner thinks fit)--
(a) the date of the writ, and
(b) the contents of the writ, and
(c) the nomination day, and
(d) the election day, and
(e) the return day.
