    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Regulation 42 be amended by deleting paragraph (5) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph- “(5) Notwithstanding that a returning officer has held nomination papers invalid; he may admit the same once the invalidity has been cured”. This is providing a mechanism for the returning officer to be able to receive back a nomination paper they have declared invalid, if the presenter of the paper is able to cure the reason for the invalidity within the nomination period. So, if you went there and you forgot to carry your identity card, and the returning officer says that your nomination is invalid, if you go back to him before 5.00 p.m., or the end of the nomination period, and you are able to produce whatever it is that caused them to declare your nomination invalid, they should allow you to cure the invalidity and declare you duly nominated."
