(b) If the final canvass reveals that a necessary contestee as determined under Subtitle B or C has not been named, the contestant must name that contestee within the time limit prescribed for filing the petition. Action taken before the necessary contestee is named shall be set aside if it denies to the contestee any right to which a contestee is entitled.
