Article 133
 

1. In the CEC’s examination of a complaint, only the following have the right to take part by submitting a request, making and refuting claims, as well as submitting evidence:


a) the complainant;
b) an interested party. An interested party is any electoral subject whose rights and legitimate interests, be they individual or collective, are or could be violated by a decision that may be made at the conclusion of the administrative procedure.


2. An interested party files a request to participate in an administrative review no later than by the time set for holding the session. Filing the request beyond this deadline leads to the rejection of the request.


3. The acceptance of a party as an interested party in an administrative procedure is made by a decision of the CEC at the beginning of the respective session and after verifying the participation of the other parties.


4. The parties are entitled to be represented during the administrative procedure by their authorized representatives or by making a declaration in the session. As a rule, the electoral subjects represented at the CEC are represented by their accredited representatives to the CEC.
