Article 145
 

The right to submit an appeal to court

1. Electoral subjects have the right to submit appeals against CEC decisions to the Electoral College of the Court of Appeals in Tirana when these decisions affect their legal interests within the time limit established in article 152 of this Code. Individuals or political parties whose request to be registered as an electoral subject have been rejected also have the right to appeal according to this article. 

2. Electoral subjects have the right to file an appeal with the Electoral College for the CEC failing to make a decision by the legal deadline. In this case, the Electoral College does not judge the merits of the case and, when it accepts the request, compels the CEC to make a decision. This rule does not apply to CEC decisions to reject a request for appeal, in relation to decisions taken in compliance with letters (a), (b), (c) and (ç) of article 24 of this Code. 

3. Subjects mentioned in article 6 of this Code who have been refused a request for accreditation as observers also have a right to appeal according to this article. In case accreditation of observers has been delegated to CEAZs, then the right to appeal according to this point begins with an administrative appeal in accordance with article 124 of this Code.
