13.2. Presentation of Petitions

There can be one or more grounds for presenting an election petition calling in question any election

It can be presented by any candidate at such election or any elector within forty-five days from, but not earlier than the date of election of the returned candidate i.e. a candidate who has been declared elected as a member, or if there are more than one returned candidate at the election and the dates of their election are different, the later of those two dates.

"Elector" means a person who was entitled to vote at the election to which the election petition relates, whether he has voted at such election or not.
