A candidate running in the Braddon by-election was declared bankrupt in 2008 and is unlikely to be eligible to sit in parliament.
Court records show Australian People’s Party candidate Bruno Strangio was declared bankrupt a decade ago – undischarged bankrupts are ineligible to sit in parliament.
Mr Strangio was one of 13 candidates across five by-elections who refused to sign optional forms setting out how they are eligible to enter parliament if they win.
Comment is being sought from Mr Strangio.
