It's as close to the definition of a hot mess as you can come - and today the Chief Elections Officer conceded that it's unfortunate - but it's not their call:

Josephine Tamai, Chief Elections Officer
"Well, when it comes to what was on the ballot, that's basically a decision that every candidate would make for his or herself. They are allowed to indicate if there was an issue on the ballot paper, because sometimes, people claim that nobody really knows their real name. And, it's unfortunate what is happening. As a public officer and many people might think that when it comes to politics, we're involved. But we're separate and apart. We have no political affiliation as public officers. And so whatever the commission decides, those are what we actually carry forward. I am not a commission member. I have no vote on the commission because I know some people tend to confuse the too many times. But we all have our roles and responsibilities. And so, we know that the commission is made up of five persons, and so they're the ones who would vote on any decisions that needs to be taken."
