Definitive vacancies 

If any candidates die in the period between the registration of a slate of candidates for Legislative Assembly representative or municipal positions and the definitive announcement of election results, their place shall be deemed vacant and shall be filled by automatically moving up the other candidates on the same slate who were placed lower than the deceased candidate.

When a definitive vacancy occurs after the apportionment of elected positions, either prior or subsequent to the swearing in of the Legislative Assembly representative, the Tribunal shall fill it by summoning the citizen who occupied the place immediately below the person who was elected to fill the position for the remainder of the constitutional period.

If this person cannot fill the vacancy, the individuals appearing on the same ballot shall be summoned in descending order.
