### sec.43A Winding up group of candidates
The members of a group of candidates for an election may—
wind up the group at any time before the polling day for the election; and
by its agent, give the electoral commission written notice of the proposed winding up.
As soon as practicable after the electoral commission receives the notice, the electoral commission must publish a copy of the notice from which information required under subsection (4) (d) has been deleted—
on the electoral commission’s website; and
in other ways the electoral commission considers appropriate.

The notice must—
be in the approved form; and
state the name of the group of candidates; and
state the name of each candidate who is a member of the group when the notice is given; and
be signed by each candidate mentioned in paragraph (c) .
