30 April 2021
Emily Rutherford publicly announced her withdrawal from the by-election -- but made the announcement after nominations closed mid-April.
Electoral Officer Jane Robertson says a nomination can't be cancelled after the final date unless the candidate becomes 'incapacitated', and Rutherford agrees she isn't.
Rutherford will remain as a candidate on voting papers delivered late-May.
