Immediately upon the receipt of the candidate list, the competent election commission shall determine whether the list has been submitted in the prescribed deadline, and whether it has been composed in conformity with the provisions of this Law.

If the competent election commission establishes that the candidate list had not been submitted in time, it shall render a decision on rejecting the candidate list.

If the competent election commission establishes that the candidate list has certain deficiencies, it shall render, within the 48 (forty eight) hours from the receipt of the candidate list, a decision requesting the submitter of the candidate list to eliminate faults within the 48 (forty eight) hours from the delivery of the decision. The decision shall point out to the actions that are to be taken in order to eliminate those deficiencies.

If the competent election commission establishes that the deficiencies in the candidate list have either not been eliminated or have not been eliminated within the prescribed period, it shall render a decision on refusing to proclaim such candidate list within the next 24 hours.
