Complaints regarding elections to the Althingi.


The Althingi shall decide whether MPs are duly elected and whether an MP is disqualified from election. 


If a voter brings a complaint alleging that an MP who has been elected failed to meet any of the eligibility criteria to stand as a candidate, or that a candidate list was unlawfully put forward for election or elected, so that the election should be declared invalid, that voter shall, within seven days of the official notice of the election result, send a complaint to the National Electoral Commission. The Commission shall immediately notify the agents of the candidate list of the complaint and submit it before the Althingi immediately at the beginning of the parliamentary session.
