Editing Confusing similarity (section)

==In election law==
There are examples of [[electoral]] confusion caused by would-be candidates deliberately choosing similar names to confuse the electorate, hence potentially affecting the outcome of an election. For example, in three instances in the [[United Kingdom]] during 1994–5: a candidate attempting to stand as a member of the '[[Literal Democrat]]' party (in the UK there is a [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats Party]]), and two instances of candidates standing for the 'Conservatory' party and the 'Conversative' party (against the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] candidate). All candidatures were rejected by the [[Returning Officer]] and the candidates had to stand using more distinguishable party names.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.election.demon.co.uk/by1992.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991111032256/http://www.election.demon.co.uk/by1992.html |archive-date=1999-11-11 |title=Byelections in the 1992-97 Parliament}}</ref>

In the [[2019 Canadian Federal Election]] the [[List of frivolous political parties|satirical]] [[Rhinoceros Party]] ran a candidate by the name of Maxime Bernier in the riding of [[Beauce (electoral district)|Beauce]]. The seat was also being contested by the incumbent MP and leader of the [[People's Party of Canada]], [[Maxime Bernier]].
