319. (1)  If a candidate dies after being nominated and before the closing of the poll, the presiding officer must immediately recommence the proceedings for the election, by giving the notice mentioned in article 303, and must fix the dates for the nomination of candidates and for the voting, with an intervening delay of four days, if the election is by ballot.

In a municipality divided into electoral districts, the first paragraph only applies with regard to the election to the office for which the deceased candidate was running.

(2)  In the case mentioned in this article, the election is, in other respects, held in the same manner as other elections governed by this Title, but without applying the provision relating to the revision of the assessment roll.

(3)  In his report respecting the election, the presiding officer must forward to the council a special report of the reasons which occasioned the postponement of the election.
