Without prejudice to the provisions of subsection 2, a registered appellation which has been published in accordance with the provisions of sections G 1, subsection 8 or G 2, subsection 8 shall also be valid for an election to a provincial council and a municipal council or for an election to a municipal council.
The central electoral committee for an election to a provincial council or a municipal council may decide that the effect of the registration shall not be extended as referred to in subsection 1 if the registered appellation is identical or largely similar to the appellation of another political grouping registered pursuant to section G 2 or G 3 respectively, so that there is a risk of confusion.
A decision as referred to in subsection 2 shall be taken no later than the fourteenth day after the date of the Government Gazette in which the publication referred to in section G 1, subsection 8, or section G 2, subsection 8, appeared. A copy of the decision shall be immediately forwarded to the agent of the relevant grouping.
