The Strand One Secretariat prepared an information paper on 23 February 1998, detailing how various European countries handle the filling of casual vacancies in elected institutions, following a request from participants at a Strand One meeting on February 2. The paper outlines different methods, including the use of party lists, substitutes designated at the time of election, and by-elections. The document highlights the importance of this issue for maintaining proportional balance in an Assembly and notes differing opinions among parties on the best approach, with some advocating for a party 'reserves' list system and others calling for safeguards against the replacement of delegates who fall out of favor. The Secretariat suggests that participants may wish to further discuss these options for candidate replacement in the context of a future Northern Ireland elected institution.
