Each candidate and representative of a candidate or list of candidates shall have the right to file an appeal with the municipal council against a decision of the municipal electoral commission that could affect the confirmation of office, except in the case of the by-elections referred to in Article 30 of this Act, where only the representative of a list of candidates shall have the right to appeal. An appeal may be filed up to the start of the first session of the municipal council. Appeals concerning by-elections, subsequent elections or repeated elections may be filed at the latest within 15 days of the day of such election.

The municipal council shall decide on the appeal upon confirming the office of members of the municipal council.
