It's really quite simple
1) Candidates standing in 2 different areas should be identified as such on both the ballot paper and earlier resume pages. I personally would never vote for someone standing in two regions as they are quite clearly carpetbagging.
2) The party hierarchy knew about this issue before going to print as it was pointed out to them quite clearly.
3) I feel that candidates should only be able to stand in areas that a) they reside in b) a region in which they are a member of a branch c) An area in which they qualify under the previous two criteria and are also known as an active member.
To suggest that this is a little minor matter not worthy of correcting because of cost is ludicrous, I would suggest that the cost be passed on to the idiots who ignored the well in advance warnings of incorrect procedure and authorized the go ahead to print and deliver regardless.
None of the above is rocket science, in fact I can't think of anything simpler to implement.
