Once the Election Commission receives the list of candidates and/or the list of candidate for mayor, it determines whether the lists are submitted within the deadline determined in Article 21 of this Law, and whether they are composed in accordance with the provisions of this Law.

 

If the Election Commission determines that the lists of paragraph 1 of this Article have been submitted within the deadline determined, and have been composed in accordance with the provisions of this Law, it shall confirm them with a decision within 48 hours.

Should the Election Commission determine that there have been some omissions or irregularities made in regard to the lists of candidates and/or list of candidates for mayor, it shall call the submitters thereof immediately, but within no more than 48 hours following the receipt of the list, to eliminate the omissions or irregularities found.

If the Election Commission determines that the lists of candidates have not been submitted in a timely manner, or the submitters have not eliminated the irregularities found within the deadline set forth in paragraph 3 of this Article, it shall reject the list of candidates with a decision.

            The Election Commission shall reach the decisions referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Article within 48 hours following the receipt of the list.
