French Public Health Code
In forceIf the administration finds that the list does not meet the conditions set out in article L. 6156-3, it will give the list delegate a reasoned decision declaring the list inadmissible. This decision is given by any means that provides a date certain and at the latest on the day following the deadline for submitting lists of candidates.
If, within three days of the deadline for submitting lists, one or more candidates on a list are found to be ineligible, the administration immediately informs the list delegate. The latter may then submit the necessary corrections within three days of the expiry of the aforementioned three-day period. Each ineligible candidate is replaced by a candidate appointed in accordance with the conditions laid down in the third paragraph of Article R. 6156-48. In the absence of rectification, the list is considered as not having presented any candidate in the corresponding section.
When the administrative court is seised of a challenge to the decision of ineligibility, in application of the last paragraph of I of article 9 bis of the aforementioned law of 13 July 1983, the three-day rectification period provided for in the previous paragraph only runs from the date of notification of the judgement.
If the event giving rise to the ineligibility occurred after the deadline for submission of the lists, the candidate in default may also be replaced, without there being any need to change the date of the elections.
No other withdrawal of candidacy may be made after the submission of the lists of candidates.
The lists drawn up in accordance with the conditions laid down in articles R. 6156-48 and R. 6156-49 shall be put online without delay on the website of the Centre national de gestion and, in any event, before the electoral material is sent to the voters. The Director General of the National Management Centre shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the web page is protected from indexing by search engines.
