Comelec: Party-lists can still substitute nominees after elections but...
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will strictly enforce the law regarding party-list substitution.
Comelec acting spokesperson John Laudiangco confirmed no official documents for the P3PWD party-list substitution have been received.
Comelec commissioner George Garcia stated that party-list organizations can substitute nominees even after elections, provided all original nominees withdraw or die.
Any substitution will require approval from the Comelec en banc following a hearing and will be subject to their discretion.
Garcia noted there is no set deadline for substitutions, citing a previous case where the House of Representatives recognized a new nominee without prior alteration in Comelec.
