Paragraph 78
 

The Electoral Code requires the Constitutional Court to adopt a decision on an appeal within two months of its receipt. The deadline for submitting an appeal on the decision on the election results to the Constitutional Court is 15 days. The Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters, in view of the expediency required during the electoral process, generally envisages shorter timelines (3-5 days). It is therefore recommended to shorten the current time-limits as
the lawfulness of election results corresponds to a substantial public interest.
