    The application was dismissed because the applicant failed to prove any reasonable cause under s40(2); his non‑filing resulted from an intentional decision based on a self‑claimed misunderstanding without evidence, despite multiple reminders and prior election experience, and allowing relief would harm the public interest in the integrity of elections.
