Mandate candidates in elections to attend the returning officer's announcement

Background

Candidates for elections to Parliament should attend the Returning Officer's declaration of the result or forfeit their right to represent the seat.

Additional details

People who wish to represent a constituency in Parliament should account for themselves and be present at the Returning Officer's announcement of the result of an election. We believe it's a basic courtesy to voters and fellow candidates.
