The protocol of the alliance can be changed by the same procedure until two days before the deadline for the delivery of the candidate lists.


The Alliance protocol; if decided by political parties, will include the title of the alliance and other matters not contrary to the law.


Political parties can abandon the alliance until 3 days before the deadline for submitting the candidate list by notifying the Supreme Board of Elections. This situation should be immediately reported to the other political parties in the same alliance by Supreme Board of Elections. In case of abandonment, the alliance will continue among the other allied parties. Until 17:00 on the following day of the abandonment notification, other political parties in the alliance are able to change the alliance protocol or abandon the alliance altogether.
