Article 124
 

The right to appeal

1. Any political party, whether or not a member of a coalition, and any candidate proposed by the voters, have the right to appeal to the CEC against CEAZ decisions that damage their legal interests within three days after the date on which the decision has been declared. An appeal against a decision of the CEC taken pursuant to article 123 of this Code can be made to the CEC as well not later than 3 days from the declaration of the decision. 

2. The right to appeal according to this article is also granted to those individuals or political parties whose requests for registering as an electoral subject have been refused, and to those subjects referred to in article 6 of this Code appealing against the refusal of requests for accreditation as observers, when the accreditation of the observers is delegated to the CEAZs. The CEC decisions for the registration of an electoral subject or refusing to register it, taken in accordance with Chapter I, Part XI of this Code, can be appealed to the Electoral College in accordance with the procedures of this Chapter. 

3. During the examination of the submitted appeal requests, the CEC examines the entirety of the problems arising, including the invalidation of elections in specific voting centres, without being restricted to the object of the request for appeal submitted by the electoral subject.
