Slates for the election of representatives to the Parliament may be independently nominated by a single political party, or by two or more political parties (coalition slate).

With Article 19 of the AAAERCSP (Official Gazette 53/03), which entered into force on 2 April 2003, in paragraphs 1 and 2, the words: "House of Representative and House of Counties of the Parliament" were replaced with the words: "Parliament".

Political parties shall determine their party slates and the sequence of candidates on them independently, in the manner foreseen by their statutes, or pursuant to separate statutory decisions.

Political parties shall nominate the person authorised to submit the party slate and nomination pursuant to the provisions of their respective statutes.
The party slate shall include the same number of candidates as the number of representatives to be elected to the Parliament.
If the person making the nomination proposes fewer candidates than the number of representatives to be elected to the Parliament, in other words, the party slate shall not be valid.
