299. In any prosecution, action or proceeding for a corrupt practice, it shall be sufficient to allege that the defendant was, at the election at or in connection with which the offence is intended to be alleged to have been committed, guilty of a corrupt practice, describing it by the name given to it by this division, or otherwise, as the case requires.
In any such prosecution, action or proceeding, the certificate of the returning officer or the admission of the defendant shall be sufficient evidence of the due holding of the election and of the nomination thereat of any person named in such certificate, or mentioned as such in the admission.
