Article 84
 

Submission of the Lists



Political parties registered as electoral subjects submit to the CEC a list of candidates for the 40 seats in the Assembly within the time period provided for in article 78 of this Code. This list must be supported  by the signatures of 7000 voters registered in the preliminary voter lists. Political parties are exempted from the obligation for signatures contemplated in this article of the Code, if at least one member of the respective party holds a seat in the Assembly. For the purposes of this Code, the political party submits at least one written statement signed by the elected person, declaring that he is a member of the political party.



Coalitions of political parties registered with the CEC may submit a multi-name list of candidates. When the coalition is composed of parties that have decided to appear separately on the ballot paper, it submits a composed multi-name list, which comprises individual lists of the coalition member parties, whereas, when the coalition runs as a single subject, it submits a joint multi-name list. The list must be supported by the signatures of 10,000 voters registered in the preliminary voter lists. The coalition is exempted from the obligation for signatures contemplated in this article of the Code, if its member parties hold jointly in the Assembly no fewer seats than the number of member parties. For the purposes of this Code, the coalition submits written statements signed by the elected persons, declaring that they are members of the political parties in the coalition.



The order of the candidates on the list is determined by the electoral subject that submits it.  In the case of death, resignation or the loss of the right to be a list candidate according to this Code, the candidates listed below move up one place.



When there is an agreement of the electoral subject on the final ranking of multi-name list candidates, it is deposited together with the multi-name list. The agreement is implemented directly by the CEC when it contains:





the formula for defining the final ranking of multi-name list candidates.



the agreement shall be signed by the chairman of the party or, as appropriate, by the chairmen of the coalition member parties.





The lists are to be signed by the chairman of the party or, as appropriate, by the chairmen of the parties of the coalition. The list is accompanied by a declaration signed by each candidate stating that he is eligible to vote, desires to run and accepts the ranking in the list. The list must be accompanied for each candidate by the documentation contemplated by article 79, section 2, letters (a) and (b) of this Code.
