Comments by "Vikki McDonough" (@vikkimcdonough6153) on "What Happens If a Presidential Candidate Dies Before the Election? (and the 25th Amendment)" video.
13:05 - Under the British system, someone can still be declared elected posthumously, although the window of possibility is much narrower. If the candidate dies after the polls close, but before the votes are counted, the votes for the now-dead candidate are considered to still be valid, as they were cast when the candidate was not yet dead, and, if said candidate got the most votes, they get elected posthumously, creating an immediate vacancy.
