(3) The regional election board shall reject a list of candidates if filed at variance with Article 31, Paragraph 1 hereinbefore; or if lacking in the due essentials required by the provisions of Article 31, Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 hereinbefore in case such deficiencies cannot be rectified by measures defined in Paragraph 2, Letter (e) of this Article; or if the Appendix to the list of candidates provided for in Article 31, Paragraph 4 herein be missing. Any Political Party or coalition may appeal against the decision of the regional election board to reject its list of candidates to the Central Election Board. Such an appeal shall be lodged with the Central Election Board by the Political Party or coalition no later than twenty-four hours following the receipt of the decision. The decision rendered by the Central Election Board shall then be binding on the regional election board.
