Article 41
 

Ruling concerning candidature and advertisement


When the deadline decided for candidatures has passed, the senior electoral commission holds a meeting the following day and the agents for the electoral lists shall be given an opportunity to attend. If there are then found to be defects with respect to the electoral lists, the relevant agents shall be provided with an opportunity to correct the lists and a time limit may be set for that purpose, as time and circumstances allow. If defects that the Senior Electoral Commission has pointed out are not corrected within the set time limit, it shall deliver a ruling as to whether a list of candidates should therefore be considered invalid. If there is a dispute among the senior electoral commission with respect to a ruling, then issues shall be decided by majority vote.
