Article 45
 

(1) If a provincial election proposal does not name an authorised recipient, the respective person campaigning in the first position of the provincial election proposal is taken as representative of the party authorised to receive official mail.

(2) The party can replace the authorised recipient any time by another representative. Such declarations to be addressed to the provincial electoral authority only require the signature of the former representative. If this person does not agree or is no longer in the position to represent the party according to the opinion of the provincial electoral authority, the declaration shall be signed by at least half of the persons campaigning mentioned on the provincial election proposal, who can still represent the party at the time of the declaration according to the opinion of the provincial electoral authority. If these signatures cannot be submitted, the signature of one person campaigning on the provincial election proposal, who can represent the party according to the opinion of the provincial electoral authority, is sufficient.
