What if I decide I don't want to run for office after I've submitted my nomination papers?

You may withdraw as a candidate until 4 p.m. on the 29th day before General Voting Day (Friday, Sept.16, 2022). If you want to withdraw after that deadline, the Chief Election Officer must notify the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, and the Minister will decide whether or not the candidate may withdraw.
