Once the presentation of evidence has concluded and, where applicable, the investigation has ended, the Technical Unit of Electoral Disputes of the Executive Secretariat will share the file with the complainant and respondent so that they, within five days, express what is in their best interest. After this deadline, the Secretariat will develop the corresponding draft resolution, within no more than ten days from the end of the last viewing of the file.

a) If the first draft of the Technical Unit of Electoral Disputes of the Executive Secretariat suggests the inadmissibility or dismissal of the investigation, or the imposition of a sanction, and the Complaints and Reports Commission agrees with the meaning of the draft, it will be forwarded to the General Council for its study and vote;

b) In the event of not adopting the inadmissibility or dismissal, or the imposition of a sanction, the Complaints and Reports Commission will return the draft resolution to the Secretary, stating the reasons for its return, or suggesting, where applicable, the proceedings it deems relevant to the improvement of the investigation, and

d) To reject it and request the Technical Unit of Electoral Disputes of the Executive Secretariat to prepare a new draft in the sense of the arguments, considerations and reasoning expressed by the majority, and e) The rejection of a draft resolution is understood as the approval of an agreement for its return.
