Paragraph 37

 

Therefore, the right to nominate candidates belongs only to political parties (Article 8), no longer submitted to the requisite of being registered at least one year prior to the election date (Article 38.1 of the existing Law).  This time requirement, reduced in length, only remains with reference to electoral coalitions: election blocs of parties can be established […] by political parties registered […] at least six months prior […] to the beginning of the process of nomination of candidates (Article 36).
