443. Where an error is found in a declaration or return that has been filed, the official agent may correct it at any time within the period prescribed for filing such declaration or return.
After the period prescribed for filing the declaration or return, the candidate or party leader may obtain leave from the Chief Electoral Officer to correct the error on establishing that it was made through inadvertence. Any opposition to the application for leave shall be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer.
If the Chief Electoral Officer considers that the opposition is not justified, he shall allow the correction procedure to continue; otherwise, he shall refer the parties to the court of competent jurisdiction.
