However, the poll body said, if it’s by reason of death or incapacity, substitution is allowed until mid-day of election day.
The Comelec also said that if a nominee withdraws his acceptance, he is no longer eligible to be re-nominated by the same party or be nominated by other parties.
“If a nominee dies or becomes incapacitated, notice and proof of his death must be filed with the Comelec within ten days,” the poll body said in a statement on Thursday, Feb. 4.
According to Comelec, only in cases of valid withdrawal and substitution, or death or incapacity, may “alteration in the order of nominees still be allowed after filing.”
