245. The returning officer shall verify whether the nomination paper appears to meet the requirements of this division and whether all the required documents are attached to it. The returning officer shall verify whether the names of the electors supporting the nomination are entered on the list of electors for the electoral division and whether the name of the candidate is entered on the list of electors. Where the name of the candidate is not entered on the list of electors, the returning officer may enter it. In such a case, the returning officer has the same powers and duties as those entrusted to a board of revisors for the processing of a request for registration.
Following such verifications, the returning officer shall issue a notice of conformity and a receipt, which constitutes proof of the nomination.
