                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PRINTING OF NAMES ON BALLOT (§ 24.2-541)

In the case (i) of a candidate who has died if the notice is filed with the
proper official at least 25 days before the day on which the election is to be
held or (ii) of a candidate who has withdrawn or had his nomination set aside if
the notice is filed with the proper official at least 60 days before the day on
which the election is to be held, the electoral board or boards having charge of
the printing of the ballots for such election shall either:

1. Cause to be printed thereon the name of every person qualifying as provided
in this article; or

2. If ballots for the election have already been printed, cause separate ballots
to be printed for the office on which shall be printed the name of every person
qualifying as provided in this article and of any other party or nonparty
candidate for the same office who had already qualified to have his name printed
on the ballot. In addition, the electoral board may cause to be stricken from
the earlier printed ballots the title of the office involved and the names of
all candidates for that office appearing thereon.
			If the candidate so dying, withdrawing or having his nomination set aside is
a candidate for an office to which more than one person is to be elected and
none of the candidates was opposed prior to such death, withdrawal, or setting
aside, then the ballots shall be so printed as to permit the electors to vote
separately for the remaining unopposed candidate or candidates, and for such
persons who filed notice of candidacy as provided in this article.
			Whenever any additional candidate qualifies as provided in this article, no
votes previously cast by absentee ballot for a candidate for such office shall
be counted, but any person who has so voted shall be entitled to receive a new
ballot and to vote for his choice among all the candidates for such office.
