Right to nominate presidential candidates

In presidential elections, candidates may be nominated by

1)  a political party that in the previous parliamentary elections had at least one candidate elected to the Parliament from its list of candidates;

2)  at least 20,000 eligible voters who have founded a constituency association.

An eligible voter may be a member of only one constituency association. If a person is a member of two or more constituency associations, the constituency electoral committee shall remove his or her name from all the charters.

A party or a constituency association entitled to nominate a presidential candidate may only nominate one candidate. Parties and constituency associations may nominate the same candidate. No electoral alliances or joint lists are to be formed to nominate a common candidate.

The nominated candidates stand as candidates in the entire country.
