b) to the District Electoral Council — in the case of initiative groups and independent candidates in local elections.

(2) A request for confirmation of the treasurer may be submitted to the electoral body, simultaneously with the lodging the documents for the registration as an electoral competitor, of participating in a referendum or of an initiative group or, subsequently, after its registration in that capacity.

(3) In order to be confirmed by the electoral body as a treasurer, the nominated person must have specialised studies economics or accounting and not hold public dignity positions.
