the bulk add review page should show the party as well as candidate name
On the review page, you see a list like this:
It would be great is this page also listed the party that the candidate has been indicated as standing for, so you can check that at the same time.

I note all the "a person with [similar] name" options are people who are currently standing - does the search look for matches on previous candidates first/too?
I've just responded with a +1 to this in #843, suggesting that previous party/location info is placed in a tool-tip/popup. If limited to one candidacy eg "who last stood in..." then the info could be displayed in-line without risk of overloading the page.
I can think of one person who was in YNMP and is now an active candidate in a local election. https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/person/1554 has been updated so on this occasion no duplicate was created.
