Legitimacy of signatures


Challenges to the legitimacy of membership signatures must also be filed in the forum stipulated in Article 62 of this Act and the Electoral Registry shall rule on this when issuing its decision concerning the registration of the party. Without prejudice to the decision taken in this respect, if the facts can be constitutive of a crime, the matter shall be notified to the Office of the Attorney-General for appropriate action. Such a notification shall not suspend the registration process, but if the party does not obtain the required legitimate signatures as a consequence of criminal sanctions, the Electoral Registry shall cancel the registration, without this decision affecting accomplished formalities.
