If they have a bylaw which says that, then doesn't natural justice
demand that the regularly nominated slate of candidates should be
settled earlier than the November cutoff date, and not be changeable
subsequently?

This "Hey Walter, we ain't agonna nominate you again, and it's too late
for you to be a write-in, heh-heh", at a major public company, really
ought to be prohibited in law.
