Proposition de loi modifiant le Code électoral, en vue de supprimer le système de candidats suppléants pour les élections législatives.

This is a private member's bill tabled in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives. It proposes amending the Electoral Code to remove the system of substitute candidates (suppléants) for legislative elections. Under the current arrangement, each candidate on a list can be paired with a substitute who takes over the seat if the elected member leaves office. The bill would end this practice, so that vacancies would be handled differently. The title is based on metadata only, and the full text was not reviewed. The change would mainly affect elected members of the Chamber, the substitute candidates, and political parties that field lists. Voters would also be affected, since the replacement mechanism for vacant seats would change. The exact scope depends on the final wording of the bill.
