Clock ticks on candidate disclosure
(CNS): While some candidates are trying to keep a lid on their election plans until Nomination Day, the clock is ticking on the requirement for them to file their interests before they officially declare their intentions next Monday. The Commission for Standards in Public Life has released a reminder for all electoral candidates to submit a declaration form in accordance with the law before 1 March.
CSPL is asking all candidates to bring in their declarations this week and before 10:00am on Friday to “facilitate a smooth and expedient verification process”.
In accordance with the Standards in Public Life Act, all candidates seeking election for public office must submit a complete Standards in Public Life Schedule 1 Declaration Form before filing their nomination papers on Monday, 1 March.
According to the CSPL website, members of the public can inspect the Register during normal working hours at the Secretariat offices, located on the 2nd Floor Artemis House, 67 Fort Street, George Town.
