Person responsible for finance (treasurer)

(1) The political party, electoral competitor, participant in the referendum or the initiative group shall nominate and appoint for confirmation a person responsible for its finances (treasurer) as follows:

a) to the Central Electoral Commission — in the case of the initiative groups and the electoral competitors in the Parliamentary and Presidential Election, in the case of political parties and electoral blocs of parties nominating can­didates in local and regional elections and in the case of participants in ref­erendums at all levels;

b) to the District Electoral Council — in the case of initiative groups and inde­pendent candidates in local elections.

(2) A request for confirmation of the treasurer may be submitted to the electoral body, simultaneously with the lodging the documents for the registration as an electoral competitor, of participating in a referendum or of an initiative group or, subsequently, after its registration in that capacity.

(3) For the person nominated as treasurer to be confirmed in this capacity by the electoral body, the political party, electoral contestant, referendum participant, or initia­tive group shall submit to the electoral body the application provided for in paragraph (2), the internal decision/order of nomination, the identity document of the nominated per­son, documents certifying specialized economic or accounting education, contact details, and a declaration stating that the nominated person does not hold any public dignity position.

(4) The electoral competitor, a participant in the referendum or the initiative group shall have the right to appoint as a treasurer a person responsible for its finances, on the basis of a contract submitted to the electoral body for confirmation, in accordance with paragraph (1). Independent candidates have the right to personally perform the duties of treasurer for their own electoral fund.

(5) The status of treasurer is incompatible with any other subject involved in the electoral process. During an electoral event, several initiative groups or several elector­al competitors/participants in the referendum may not nominate the same person as a treasurer, regardless of the level of the Electoral District in which he/she is running, unless the case when political parties constitute an electoral bloc of parties.
