Article 222
 

§ 1 The District Election Commission shall delete from the registered candidate list, any candidates for the post of MP who has died or lost the right to be elected or has submitted a declaration on withdrawal of consent to be a candidate.


§ 2 If the deletion of a candidate from the list of candidates was due to the death of a candidate thus resulting in the list containing less than the number of deputies elected in the constituency, the commission shall notify the person submitting the list about the possibility of submitting a new candidate. Any supplement to the list shall be made at the latest 15 days before election day, in which case the provisions of Article. 210 § 1 shall not apply.


§ 3 If a candidate from the list is deleted for any reason other than death, or if the list has not been supplemented within the time limit referred to in § 2, and the list of candidates remains less than the number of deputies in the constituency, the commission shall cancel registration of the list. No remedy is available from the decision of the commission.


§ 4 In the event of a termination of the election committee in the manner referred to in art. 101 § 1 and 3, the electoral commission cancels the registration of the list put forward by that committee. The provision of § 3, second sentence shall apply accordingly.


§ 5 The deletion of the candidate and the decision referred to in § 2-4, shall be immediately communicated by the district election commission to the legal representative, the National Electoral Commission and the voters, in the form of an announcement.
