Important Note About the Candidate List
Media reports may use terms such as party nominee, alliance nominee or mayor candidate. These descriptions should not automatically be treated as proof that every listed person is a final valid candidate on the official ballot. The final contesting-candidate list, including withdrawals and any revised nominations, must be checked with APSEC or the concerned Returning Officer.
There may also be differences between a party-announced nominee and the candidate whose nomination is accepted by the election authority. For this reason, readers should verify the final ward or mayoral contest records before relying on a name as officially confirmed.
