South Australian Current Acts South Australian Current Acts (1) The
returning officer for each district must, at the hour of nomination, attend at
the district office where the returning officer must—
(a)
publicly produce all nomination papers received by the returning officer; and
(b)
declare the names of all candidates duly nominated for the election in that
district; and
(c)
declare the addresses of all candidates duly nominated for the election in
that district; but if the address of a candidate is suppressed from the roll
under section 21—
(i)
in the case of a candidate nominated for election as a
member of the House of Assembly—the returning officer must instead
declare the name of the House of Assembly electoral district in which that
candidate resides; and
(ii)
in the case of a candidate nominated for election as a
member of the Legislative Council—the returning officer must not declare
the address of that candidate.
(2) The returning
officer may, with the concurrence of the Electoral Commissioner, reject a
nomination if in the opinion of the returning officer the name under which the
candidate is nominated—

frivolous; or
(c) has
been assumed for an ulterior purpose.
(3) Where a nomination
is to be rejected under subsection (2), the returning officer must, if
practicable, give the nominee sufficient notice of the proposed rejection to
enable the withdrawal of the nomination and the making of a fresh nomination
under a different name before the hour of nomination.
