• 1. Without prejudice to the provisions of the second paragraph, a registered designation that has been communicated in accordance with the provisions of the eighth paragraph of Article G 1 or G 2 shall also apply to the election of members of the Provincial Council, the General Board, and the Municipal Council, respectively, for the election of members of the Municipal Council.

• 2. The central electoral committee for the election of members of the Provincial Council, the General Board, or the Municipal Council, respectively, shall determine that the registration referred to in the first paragraph shall not have effect on that election if the registered designation fully or substantially corresponds to a designation of another political grouping already registered pursuant to Article G 2, Article G 2a, or Article G 3, respectively, and confusion is therefore likely to arise.

• 3. A decision as referred to in the second paragraph shall be taken no later than the fourteenth day after the date of the Government Gazette or the provincial gazette in which the notification referred to in Article G 1, eighth paragraph, or Article G 2, eighth paragraph, respectively, is made.
