Alternate justices


Whenever presiding justices are temporarily absent they shall be replaced by alternate justices following the procedure established in the Structural Law of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal. Absolute absences of presiding justices shall be replaced in the same way until the Supreme Court of Justice appoints a new presiding justice.


It is the obligation of the alternate justices to attend the Tribunal when they are to be members. Failure to comply with this stipulation shall entitle the Tribunal to remove the justice from the position and appoint another alternate justice to take their place.


Alternate justices summoned to become members of the Tribunal shall not be excused from the appointment, except for just cause
