Nomination can be made in various contexts and places depending on the purpose:
- For political candidates, nomination is typically made by submitting prescribed nomination forms to the relevant electoral authority by a specified deadline. For example, in local government elections in England, nomination papers must be submitted to the Returning Officer by the close of nominations, including forms such as the nomination form, home address form, and consent to nomination
- For mutual fund investments in India, nomination can be made at the time of the initial application or subsequently by filling out a nomination section in the application form or submitting a prescribed nomination form at the mutual fund's investor service centre or registrar
- For CPF (Central Provident Fund) nominations in Singapore, nominations can be made online or by visiting any ServiceSG Centre for assistance
- For honours and awards in the UK, nominations can be made online or by downloading and filling in an honours nomination form and emailing it to the Honours and Memorialisation Secretariats
In summary, nominations are made by submitting specific forms or applications to the designated official body or service centre relevant to the nomination type, such as electoral offices, mutual fund service centres, government service centres, or honours secretariats
