12 Death of candidate

If a candidate dies after the close of nominations and before the close of the ballot—

(a) the returning officer must publish notice of the death, in a way approved by Local Land Services, on a website maintained by Local Land Services, and

(b) if there are no other eligible candidates in the election—the election fails and all functions taken by the returning officer under this part must be taken again.
