Paragraph 101
 

 Clause (4) of Article 117 states that “a CEC decision to invalidate the elections in certain voting centres, election units, or in the whole territory of the Republic of Albania” may be appealed “at a competent court”. However, Article 162 provides that a CEC decision is appealed to the Electoral College of the Court of Appeals of Tirana. The OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission recommend that Article 117 be amended to be consistent with Article 162.
