Procedure of Filing Nomination for Election

Election in India is the largest exercise of its kind in the democratic world. In the election process, the filing of nomination papers by candidates is a very important task. Under Section 14/15 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, the filing of nomination starts on the date of notification by the President/Governor. The Returning Officer (RO) issues public notice of election (under Section 31) in Form -1 (appended to CE Rules, 61). The public notice has to be under the signature of the RO only as no other authority can issue this public notice.

Procedure of Filing Nomination for Election

Who can file the nomination?
As per the Constitution and R.P. Act, 1951, any individual can contest from any constituency, as long as he/she possesses qualifications for contesting from that constituency and has not been disqualified under the Constitution or alternative laws for contesting the elections.

Under Section-30-A of the R.P. Act, 1951, the candidate is required to deliver the nomination paper to the RO or to the Assistant Returning Officer (ARO), as laid out in public notice of election. The candidate is needed to deliver the nomination paper on or before last date for filing of nomination fixed by the Election Commission.

Nomination paper cannot be filed on a public holiday. One cannot file the nomination paper before any person other than the RO or the ARO. The nomination paper is to be presented either by the candidate or by only one person who has proposed the name of the candidate.
