Article 117
 

On the occasion of the presentation of the candidates for the mandate as representatives there must be at the same time and in the same form, a presentation of the substitute candidates.


Their presentation shall be done in the same official document of presentation of the incumbent candidates and the document shall be classified separately for the candidates of the two categories.


The maximum number of substitute candidates is defined as half the number of incumbent candidates, with added up by one. If the resultant of division of the number of candidates by two contains decimals, they are rounded up to the next higher unity. There shall be in any way at least six substitute candidates.


The official document of presentation of the incumbent and substitute candidates indicates the order in which the candidates are presented in both of those two categories.


A voter may not sign more than one official document of presentation of the candidates for the same election. An incumbent parliamentarian cannot sign more than one presentation of candidates for the same election in the same electoral constituency. The voter or incumbent parliamentarian who contravenes this prohibition is subject to the punishments stipulated in article 202 of the present Code.
