Mr Nautman had planned to stand in the Tanna constituency under the Vanua'aku Pati ticket next week.
However, the electoral office rejected his application to run, because he is still serving a suspended sentence for which he lost his parliamentary seat in 2018.
Mr Natuman sought a review of the rejection but the Supreme Court declined to hear it.
His two year sentence finishes on 16 March - three days before the election.
