(4) Where a nomination paper has the signatures of more than the required number of persons as proposing, seconding or assenting to the nomination of a candidate, the signature or signatures (up to the required number) appearing first on the paper in each category must be taken into account to the exclusion of any others in that category.

[F10“relevant constituent council”—
in relation to a combined authority, means a district council which is a constituent council, or in the case of an area for which there is no district council, the county council, and
