Alteration of Constituency Nominations
After expiration of the submission period for nominations, a constituency nomination may be altered only through a joint written declaration issued by the spokesperson and the deputy spokesperson and only if the candidate has died or become ineligible to stand for election. The procedure laid down in section 21 need not be observed and the signatures as defined in section 20 subsections (2) and (3) are not required. No alterations of any kind are allowed after a decision has been made on the admission of a constituency nomination (section 26 subsection (1), first sentence).
