Article 129
 

Verification of completion of the form and content of the request for appeal

1. For each request for appeal recorded, the CEC designates by lot one of its members as a rapporteur. The rapporteur verifies the existence of the formal elements according to Article 126 of this Code, in addition to elements stipulated in article 130 of this Code. The verification result is reported at a CEC meeting no later than 24 hours from the moment the request for appeal has been recorded. 

2. The rules for drawing the lot to appoint a rapporteur according to point 1 of this article are established by a CEC decision. 

3. The CEC performs the preliminary verification of the request for appeal and decides:

a) to accept the request for review;

b) not to accept the request due to a lack of the elements stipulated in article 130 of this Code; or

c) to send back the request for completion of the formal elements stipulated in article 126 of this Code. 

4. In the case provided in letter (c) of point 3 of this article, the appellant is to complete the request and resubmit it within 24 hours from the moment this decision is announced. The request for appeal may be sent back for completion only once. The second verification of the request for appeal is to be completed within 24 hours of its resubmission.
