If a parliamentary candidate dies after close of nominations, then the poll is cancelled and there would be a re-run. It happened in the 2005 elections in Staffordshire South when the Liberal Democrat candidate died during the campaign, there was a re-run on the 23rd June and the sitting Conservative MP was returned.
