Section 137
 

(1) A candidate is eliminated if he or she is deleted from the central electoral register before the start of voting, if he or she loses the right to stand in the election, or if the candidate’s nominating organisation is deleted from the register of nominating organisations, candidates and lists. A candidate is eliminated if he or she relinquishes the nomination in writing before the starting time – as specified in Section 269 (2) – of voting at a foreign representation on the American continent, where voting starts the earliest. The names of eliminated candidates shall be deleted from the register of nominating organisations, candidates and lists and from single-member constituency ballot papers.


(2) The act of relinquishing the nomination after the deadline as specified in (1) shall not produce any legal effect, and the votes cast for the candidate shall qualify as valid votes.
