Consultations to Electoral Commissions

Electors must address their consultations to the Judiciary District Commission corresponding to their place of residence.

Political parties, coalitions or federations and electors’ groupings may submit consultations to the Central Electoral Commission about general questions that may concern more than one Provincial Electoral Commission. In all other cases consultations are to be submitted to the Provincial or Judiciary District Electoral Commission whose area of jurisdiction includes the operation territory of the organization submitting the consultation.

Public authorities and assemblies may directly consult the Commission whose area of jurisdiction includes the territory of said authorities or assemblies.

Consultations shall be submitted in writing and resolved by the relevant Commission, unless the Commission, in view of their significance or because in its opinion they should be determined with a comprehensive criterion, decides to forward them to a higher Commission.

Where the urgent nature of a consultation makes it impossible to convene the Commission and whenever there are former and concurring decisions of the Commission itself or of a higher Commission, the Chairman may issue under his own responsibility a provisional reply, pending ratification or alteration thereof at the next meeting of the Commission.
