The organisation’s rules must state the following—

who may nominate as a candidate for election;

how a person may nominate and become a candidate;

the times for nominations to open and to close;

that nominations must be called in a stated way that is reasonably likely to notify the organisation’s members—

that nominations have been called; and

of how to nominate;

that if a nomination for election for an office for the organisation is rejected as defective, other than because the person is not qualified to hold the office or because the nomination was made after the closing time—

the nominee must be notified of the defect; and

if practicable, the nominee must be given an opportunity to remedy the defect;

that a candidate must be declared elected if the number of candidates for election is not more than the number of officers to be elected for the organisation;
