A person wishing to lodge a complaint against municipal elections must deliver such complaint to the District Commissioner concerned within seven days of the declaration of the election results.
The District Commissioner in question shall appoint a three-person committee to rule on the complaint immediately upon its receipt. The opinion of the presiding election board must be sought concerning the complaint; the election board shall deliver its opinion within a week of receiving the complaint and the ruling committee issue its ruling within a week of that time.
The ruling of the committee may be referred to the Ministry of Social Affairs; notice of the complaint must be received by the Ministry within one week and any documents accompanying the complaint must be posted within that same period.
In the event that a complaint is submitted within the time limit provided for in the first paragraph and the committee declares an election invalid, the incumbent municipal council shall not be dissolved until a new election has taken place and the committee has ruled on any complaints which may be submitted resulting from it.
