315. No nomination paper is valid nor can be given effect to by the officer presiding at the election, unless it is made and presented as above prescribed.
The presiding officer, on receiving it, examines it and immediately declares whether he considers it valid or not, and gives effect to his declaration by writing the word “admitted” or “rejected” over his signature.
Such nomination paper may then be corrected or replaced by another nomination paper, so long as the delay has not expired.
