Obligation to check documents 

The authority processing candidate applications shall check whether candidate applications and notifications of electoral alliances and joint lists have been submitted to it within the period of time determined in this Act and whether the documents have been drawn up in the form determined in and under this Act, as well as whether the candidates are eligible and whether there are any other statutory impediments to their candidacy. 

It is not the duty of the authority processing the candidate applications to examine how the vote by members and the nomination procedures have been conducted within the political party or in its district, local or other organisation, or how the vote has been conducted in a municipal association representing the party members.
