“No substitution, unless…”
Comelec Chairman George Garcia previously said that the poll body will not accept substitutions due to withdrawal after October 8, the last day of filing of COC for the national and local posts.
Substitution, however, is still allowed after the COC filing deadline until November 15, 2024 if the original aspirant dies or was disqualified.
The substitute must share the same family name or must belong to the same political party.
