Articles 16(2) and 16(2) also specify the circumstances under which prospective candidates who meet one of the four criteria can be exempt from the ban if they can submit evidence “proving, unequivocally, that, before the declaration of the unconstitutionality of the political party, they have tried to determine the party to quit the actions that led to its being declared unconstitutional or they have dissociated publicly from these actions” or “proving the dismissal of prosecution against them or their acquittal in the criminal action brought against them for the offence”. They also need to submit the said evidence in addition to the necessary registration documentation (Article 68(1)).
