Practice question

- Personal filing always eliminates the party-related condition.
- Party reporting is unrelated to entry into office under every circumstance.
- The prohibition on entry into duties also applies when the nominating party fails the specified filing requirement.
- The candidate is automatically imprisoned without trial.
- The party's failure automatically proves every alleged crime.
